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 66.0/100, a mean average of 64.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

A step up from Heaven & Earth but still missing that Yes magic.
Good album from Yes. The guitar was very good, unfortunately it doesn't compare to earlier Yes releases. Loved Mystery Tour

It's so refreshing to hear some new YES! Basically a different band. But Steve Howe and Alan White are still there, plus Geoff Downes, Billy Sherwood, and Jon Davison. Nice album so far.
