Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

I dig this Drone-doom ambient noise-thing album. It reminds me of the wind in Bela Tarr's film "Sátántangó". Really intense in all its anti-climactic glory. It's a bit overlong at times, but definitely some beautiful ambient pieces in there, but I dug the few songs with vocal a tad more.
