Rating metrics: Help 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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

From Norman Bates 12/17/2014 07:42 in Your Top 5 of 2011
“Okay top 5 I have already stated elsewhere on this site why I disagree with those who think this can not be labeled a "2011 album". It is. PJ at possibly her most "classic", totally satisfying synthesis of all the aspects of her career. The anger's here, the finesse and post-medieval folkiness too.…”

A bit of a grower due to its subtlety after the affecting "No Match". Turn the volume up, though, and this is BPB's best album in years.
