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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

I dare you to find another band that can write these types of songs, play them, record them, mix them and master them as well as Mutemath does. I've never ever seen another band do that good of a job on all these things, and without the help of anybody outside of the band! They even did their own artwork!
This album is real "tour-de-force" by Mutemath. This band is cruelly underrated, their level of talent is almost unmatched these days.

So many aspects of this record I want to like (mostly the instrumentation), but feel like the songwriting could improve.
