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 has a Bayesian average rating of 65.3/100, a mean average of 64.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.9.

Don't understand the low rating - easily their best album. Very mature and some of the songs are actually quite great.
Loved this album, everything seems to gel together and sounds amazing with proper headphones / amp / dac.
Probably better than, keep the faith, these days, has again a more mature sound than it's predecessor. The same old Bon Jovi in there's some decent pop songs, and other tracks they try hard to be taken more seriously and although it's all very competent, there's really nothing spectacular here. It's just okay, but that certainly doesn't make it interesting.
