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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

“A Reckoning” struggles in both narrative and production. The bass is mixed horribly. It takes up too much space and has a tone similar to a bumble bee. The quieter tracks feel hollow with there being too much room in the sound. The strings are thin and make all of their appearances sound cheap. The hip-hop influences clash with the slower moments and intimacy of the record. The central theme of relationship difficulties is not moving. Kimbra struggles to provide details and instead relies upon songwriting clichés. These can work but are not delivered with enough tact or earnestness to turn them to gold. More positively, Kimbra’s voice sounds lovely and blends well with the production. The album just does not come together.
