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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

I saw Earth live at the release of 2014's Primitive and Dealy. When they played a song from The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull (the title track iirc), Dylan Carlson introduced it: "This is a song off our most popular album...though still not a hit. It was also our most popular with the ladies...though still not a hit." It was heavy.
