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 67.1/100, a mean average of 63.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

There's nothing like it when a band delivers a strong second album following a promising debut. Like Depeche Mode and the Pet Shop Boys before them, Hurts continue to push the boundaries of what you can do with contemporary pop music with an almost subversive, perverse glee. One of the albums of the year has arrived.
