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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

All of the pieces are here for a great album but there is a little something missing. The record is consistent and does a great job of showcasing some of the Small Faces' strengths. Steve Marriott is a amazing throughout. There are a few gems (Itychcoo Park, I'm Only Dreaming, Tin Soldier) but also a few dubs. For the most part, the album is pretty good and the songs are worth listening to.
