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 73.1/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

Classic 70's rock/hard rock with an unpolished sound. Agree with the comment below; reminded me of Uriah Heep on a few tracks. Decent right through.

Dust's sophomore effort may be even better than their debut. Slightly fanciful but extra heavy seventies rock in the vein of Uriah Heep or Lucifer's Friend.
