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 71.4/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Let's go retro 80s. No, let's really go retro 80s. To the point where you could be confused into thinking this is a re-release from 1985. It starts superbly. "Queen" is one of the best songs this year. Pure pop joy. The album tails away a little bit and gets a little more melancholy but overall it is a great piece of work.
