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)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.8/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

When you have 21 incredible songs on a Best Of, and it's not even 1/3 of all great songs you've written. And to comment below, it's a 1984-2014 era, so Skeleton Tree doesn't qualify.
A nice overview of Cave's magnificent career but why didn't they feature anything from, The Skeleton tree? Oh well, great album, great songs, great artist.
