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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.2.

Not a prefab sprout fan and thankfully it sounds nothing like them, due to the fact it was recorded when he was recovering from illness and couldn't write as he normally would. There's more of a story behind it but in the end we get something more like a cross between an OST, post rock and Steve reich. A must listen.

Beautiful album from a brilliant artist. And @Graeme2 you should give Swoon and Steve McQueen a listen - masterpieces if ever I heard one
