Rating metrics: Help 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 71.2/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

There are some iconic songs on here, such as Insomnia and Drifting Away. My personal favourite on the album is Don't Leave. But most of the album is very average.

Insomnia and Salva Mea are the only songs worth picking from this generic, painful album. I'm not even being hyperbolic when I say If Lovin' You Is Wrong is one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

Sounds a bit like... all trip hop that went before it, really. Even Moloko isn't safe from the mimicry on 'Baseball Cap'. The songs that aren't copying trip hop, are not really fun (and copying something else). It doesn't sound half bad though, but don't come here looking for something new.
