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 64.5/100, a mean average of 62.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

Joni Mitchell's post seventies output always seems to get overlooked and, Dog eat dog, is no exception. Granted it's not a, Blue, a, Court and spark, or a, Hissing of summer lawns, but it's a decent album with a surprisingly good contemporary sound, in fact a lot of it sounds like it could have been on, Hejira. DED is a good album full of good songs. (Edited)
