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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.2.

It was in 2014 that the eponymous album of the band Ibibio Sound Machine was released. After their second album, "Uyai" in 2017, they are back in force with "Doko Mien", a third album rhythmic, eclectic and seductive. "Doko Mien" means "Tell me" in Ibibio, the native language of the singer, the charismatic, Eno Williams. Ibibio Sound Machine skillfully mixes artistic styles and approaches and Eno Williams proudly shares the richness of its culture and roots. "Doko Mien" is a refreshing and organic project in its form. Whether one understands the words or not, one feels that the intention behind the song is benevolent. Maybe this album is less impressive and inspiring than their "Uyai", but...
6/10
