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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

I assumed quite early on in listening to this album that I wasn’t going to be on board with its quite rigid folksy deconstruction of medieval British life, dedicating a track each to eleven different members of society. I was quickly shut up by the superbly good songwriting, which reaches a peak in the middle of the album with the oddly maudlin Prostitute and the thumping Scientist. (Edited)

Imagine Captain Beefheart playing medieval folk.
A super-strong album. Much originality, much pleasure, superb songwriting (Edited)
