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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

On this one, Eric B. and Rakim updated their typical Golden Age-sound of the late 80's in order to keep up with the newer, more jazzy East Coast sound of the early 90's. The results are often pleasant. Rakim still knew how to move the crowd.

Pales in comparison to their earlier work, but so does 95% of hip-hop. Goes to show how good their first two albums were.
