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 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Scrounging for a place on the musical spectrum. It was clear that there would be one, but it wasn't as Dylan and it wasn't as Pink Floyd; and he hadn't thought of Ian Tyson's corner yet.

First track is a good country track. Track 2 is a stunning slow folk song of longing and melancholy. Track 3 is another absolute stunner, such awesome piano and such a great vocal part. Track 4 is ridiculously fun, and it’s clearly a sort of tribute to Dylan’s early 60s talkin’ Blues comedies. Etc. I don’t wanna go through everything. But it’s a really beautiful album.
