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 68.3/100, a mean average of 67.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

One of Aerosmiths sloppiest but still artistic records. Listen to the cool Chromatic Riff on Chiquita, The bass on Cheesecake. Bone to Bone is just a great hard rock song.

Aerosmith are getting lazy. They were simply massive at this point, and were rehashing old sounds, and not particularly well. Drugs and inner divisions were taking their toll.
