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 69.9/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Thanks for the info, never knew any of that. (Edited)
This was the follow-up album to the brilliant "Wish You Were Here". The album was recorded during two weeks in late 1974, but due to finacial irregularities within the band's management the album was not released until year 2000. Joey Molland had for the album been replaced by Bob Jackson who adds great keyboards to the band-sound. Great songs on the album from all four band members. Favourites are "Lay me Down" and "Keep Believing" by Pete Ham, as well as "Hey, Mr Manager" and "Moonshine". (Edited)
