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 is rated in the top 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

From my dubstep chart, on which this album sits at #6:
And so we come to the mighty Mount Kimbie, porcelain purveyors of woozy, ambient dubstep that does for, and to, UK bass music what Galaxie 500 did for 1980s C86 pop music. This is dreamstep if you will (a horrible term I vow never to use again), and their debut LP Crooks & Lovers is a refreshing sketchpad of initially unobtrusive ideas and compositions that, subconsciously and over time, worm their way into your psyche like welcome memories that pop up from time to time, uninvited but a pleasant surprise - capable of immediately bringing a smile to your face - nonetheless. Overall, an understated and beautiful little record that warrants repeated listening. Perfect for a rainy day.

I wasn't a huge fan of the entire thing, but it's still enjoyable.
Before I Move off has been on repeat for the past while for me though.. love that track.
