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 71.3/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Pop/rock with a bit of electronic and generally catchy songs that create an entertaining album to listen to. I missed the Teardrop Explodes but remembered Trampolene and World Shut Your Mouth, bought this recently and impressed enough after listening to have caught up on The Teardrop Explodes stuff too.
