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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

Bloody Mulu.....ruins this album for me! Don't get me wrong I'm a big TD fan but that is the one song I just cannot hold any affinity for. The rest, all good stuff, just not quite up to album one for me because of that one track, and when an album is only 7 tracks long it does effect the overall score. Would have been 90%...
A great record by a very underrated artist.
No sophomore jinx here.... Talent laden, sophisticated songs.
Solid album.
