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 67.3/100, a mean average of 65.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.5.

This album is not their 2nd best. Is actually one of their worst. Wings of Tomorrow is their best. 2nd best is their "Out of this World" album. Third is "The Final Countdown". Fourth is their very first album which was great. Prisoners of Paradise reminds me of the beginning of a child's cartoon. Horribly cheesy.
A few standout tracks here, album getting a bit thin at the end
