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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Absolutely MASSIVE post-rock album. Beautiful, ominous, and completely unforgettable soundscapes painted by God Is An Astronaut. This is hands down my favorite post-rock album, and potentially overall album of the 2000s. Unfortunately overlooked by some, but if you appreciate instrumental albums, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't listen to this one.
Favorite tracks: Forever Lost, Fireflies and Empty Skies, Suicide by Star, All Is Violent All Is Bright
