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 70.9/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.1.

Sam Beam (I&W) and Joey Burns (Calexico) reunite for a second release following 2005's 'In the Reins' 7 track EP
Recorded over 5 days 'Years To Burn' nicely melds Sams folk sensibilities with the Calexico spaghetti western open plain sound we know and love
Couple of stand out pretty tracks in "Father Mountain" and title track "Years to Burn" whilst the 8 minute "The Bitter Suite (Pájaro / Evil Eye / Tennessee Train)" is a strange beast and could have been left off the final cut
Overall well worth your time checking out
