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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.6.

One big album of mediocrity. That’s pretty much how you can describe this album. The album can be summed up in one word: forgettable. Very forgettable. Just about all of the songs sound exactly the same and the instrumental work is incredibly pedestrian. Aside from two songs that were alright, the rest of the album really isn’t worth much. It’s ok, but just ok.

A really good album. It's rare for a band to comeback this hard. Definitely the best surprise of 2011.
