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 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.5.

A nice enough album with some interesting versions of lesser known tracks but I still don't really see the point of it. It almost sounds like an Unplugged record as it is predominantly acoustic based. The, You're the one, songs sound the best, quite possibly because for me YTO is is his weakest album, albeit still decent enough. Paul Simon has never been the most prolific artist but when he releases something it's usually worth the wait and although, In the blue light, is fine, as I said, I still don't see why it exists. Good then, but ten brand new songs would have been preferable to ten old ones.
