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 71.3/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

definitely one of the very strongest debut albums I've ever heard. rich, ethereal soundscapes drenched in glistening production quality.
City Star holds its own as a brutal, dark tune powered by trap beats. Surph is a golden journey through a tropical landscape of almost-juke influence, and Ultra Thizz brings positivity to a new level.
this may be the sort of music you initially loathe, as was the case with me, but stick with it and find out what it takes to appreciate one of the best, if not THE best producers of our time.

It's basically eighties electro dragged through a dubstep hedge backwards.
