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 68.5/100, a mean average of 65.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

"And a Time Time to Dance" from 1983 was the first Los Lobos album two feature songs in English. In fact, it's really a seven tracks EP, containing two traditional songs in Spanish, a cover of Ritchie Valens' "Come On, Let's Go" and four originals written by Los Lobos bandmembers.
The track "Anselma" earned a Grammy for best Mexican / American performance, but it's probably their cover of "Come On, Let's Go" which would be most crucial for the future career of the group as it led them to record more Valens songs for the highly succesful soundtrack for the big movie "La Bamba".
On this mini-album, the group plays a mix of latin inspired music blended with elements of both r & b and early rock and roll. The three Hidalgo / Perez originals actually sound as if they were written fifties, and the style is quite different from that which gave the group's their big breakthrough with albums like "Will the Wolf Survive," "By the Light of the Moon" and especially the "La Bamba "soundtrack.
For me it is only "Come on, Let's Go", which really sounds like the Los Lobos, I fell for.
