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 71.0/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

I love J Mascis albums. His unique voice, his unique sound, his unique album art (until this one really and some of his earlier stuff).

Like most J Mascis albums it's nothing earth shattering, but just really solid.
