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 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Vibrant.
Quite probably my favourite B52's album. Massive improvement on Mesopotamia, and much more of a electronic pop sound which always sits well with me. She Brakes For Rainbows would have been a cracking single.....
Although the album is unfortunately overshadowed with the death of Ricky Wilson as well as a poor commercial performance, the fifth B-52's album is a hidden gem in their discography and contains some of their most fully realized material.
