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 68.7/100, a mean average of 64.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

This is a nice album to listen to, I have listened to it about a dozen times and it is always a good experience. The impression the album always gave to me is of an air of maturity from GFR, specially in the instruments department. The guitar solos and the jams are interesting, satisfying and pretty enjoyable.
