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 is rated in the top 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Roseability is great. Little Discourage, These Wooden Ideas and Quiet Crown are also good. But the rest of the album is quite ordinary.

I listened again. Went on back to the cold north and it is the cold north. Great as ever! It's a step up from where the came, has a balnce between there two strong points and doesn't aim for the Starsailor big single. Wonderful! Don't listen to what you got, listen to this one!

The unrecognized masterpiece. Actually It's Darkness is sublime. Other excellent tracks include Little Discourage, These Wooden Ideas, Roseability, Listen to what you got. Definitely worth a listen.
