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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.0/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

I only just finished it again for the third time, and it only gets more beguiling each time. It's every bit of its predecessor - the masterwork that is - Knock Knock's equal. Again managing to pull off new instrumental heights (a bit more experimental as it kicks off) and the lyrics and narratives constructed are just as unrivaled. He has channeled his inner Dylan once more.
Maybe the complete Smog record.
The drumming of John McEntire is stunning.
