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 69.3/100, a mean average of 66.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Another 80s Neil Young record that is just barely passable. Trying his hand at blues this time, it's by far the most middle of the road Neil could ever be. This album is completely inessential to Young's discography.

A bluesy soul album from Neil Young. It's not bad at all, even underrated, and although it not vintage Neil Young it's still a decent enough record. Good.
