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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.9.

This is my favourite Bill Callahan album(including Smog). It's heading closer to that Americana sound and it features some of Callahan's best songs. Diamond dancer, from the rivers to the ocean, especially, honeymoon child, are all excellent. Bill Callahan is one of the most original and interesting of songwriters, and this is a great record.

First album as Bill Callahan, a strong change from Smog style. Texas is near here.
