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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Is This The Life is the standout by some distance. An amazing track!
The Cardiacs most commercial album (not very commercial). Contains there one stab at single success (Is this the life - a top 50 single in 1988) and a number of their live stalwarts from around that time - In a city lining, RES and the whole world window. Another glorious album of beauty - the breakfast line probably my favourite.
