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 71.9/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Here on tenth album into a stellar career I’m happy to report that Stuart Murdoch STILL gets it with his magic ability to write the perfect three minute pop ditty with perfect hooks and melody. Mr Murdoch you are a genius my friend
On ‘A Bit of Previous’, Belle and Sebastian deliver a collection of expensive sounding and well written songs, providing plenty of variety in terms of genre and subject matter, if being a little middle of the road at times.
A perfectly tolerable album that I will be unlikely to return to again soon, but isn't by any stretch particularly unpleasant (perhaps this in part leads to it's general innocuous boringness).
