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 68.0/100, a mean average of 64.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

Very good reggae album. Best 10 songs average is 87,5/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. I never would have guessed, that a reggae album could be a favorite of mine. But this pop-based one is quite good. Best songs are "Higher ground" and coversong "Can't help falling in love" both 95/100, followed by "Promises and lies", "Bring me your cup", Things ain't like..." and "Sorry" all 85/100. I find that the song "Reggae music" is a low.
All sounds the same. Perhaps I would like this more if I was a fan of the sound they were going for.
