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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.6/100, a mean average of 67.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Good hard rock/new wave album. Best 10 songs average is 85,3/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Far and away best song is "Cradle of love" 95/100, followed by the coversong "L.A. Woman" and "Pumping on steel" both 90/100. All other songs 75-80/100.
