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 66.2/100, a mean average of 65.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

A really good album, underrated I think. I love the title track and the rest of the album has more of a flow than some of his work. Like the more funky element.
I really like this album. As someone else noted, it’s more guitar led than the previous couple of albums and that sells it for me.

Funky and soulful.
My favorite of his 21st century albums, probably because it's so guitar-centered. Not great, maybe not even good, but it's better than the previous two.
A crashdown after the renaissance of 3121 and Musicology

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
