Rating metrics: Help 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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

A Ty Segall album without a single guitar.. Yet somehow still manages to vibe like any other release of his.

Ty experiments with exotic instruments he's never played (including many strings - most notably the koto and bouzouki), striving to break out of his comfort zone. This makes for an exciting record that serves as the perfect juxtaposition to his last full length, Freedom's Goblin which utilized guitars to the highest extent.
