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 67.8/100, a mean average of 65.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Richard Page was once a session musician for artists like Michael Jackson and Kenny Loggins, turning down lead vocal roles in both Toto and Chicago. That should give you some idea as to the sound and quality of this album if hits "kyrie" and "broken wings" weren't enough.
