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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.7.

White Lies sounds like three dudes who really like The Smiths and The Cure, but, because they don't want to write sad bastard music, try to write Joy Division songs instead. Ritual is getting panned, presumably by priggish reviewers who think the style died with Ian Curtis. Look: if the rest of the band can ride New Order into old age, then young lads get to start bands with half-sung vocals.
