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 70.9/100, a mean average of 69.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

A bit of a pedestrian album from Runners, no hits, and songs are way too long for my taste. The last song was the best.
Favorite Tracks:Knowledge Of Beauty
i love most things dexys, but this i don't quite get, despite repeated listens, or i don't get why it so frequently is hailed as mr lowlands masterpiece. but i guess it's in the lyrics, me being scandinavian and first of all occupied with music, and the musical part of this one isn't, extracted from the words, that hilarious in my humble you-know-what.
So... underwhelmed...
