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 is rated in the top 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

Calexico is one of those bands, that nobody usually knows about (fully undeservedly). Their music is a fusion of mexican and american folk motives, sometimes with post-rock flavour, songs are imbued with deep melancholy, which erupts through the latin-american dancing rhytmes. Calexico belongs to the so-called Tucson scene (their music is born in Arizona's desert, not far from the mexican border). This group is extremely talented, don't miss them. Listen at least to the title song of this album, Algiers.
