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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Underrated album from heavyweight champions of shoegaze. Standout tracks: Heal is absolutely gorgeous, epic, thunderous and heartbreaking. Fizzy Love and Eat my Dust are quirky little beauties. Judy Staring at the Sun features lovely guest vocals by Tanya Donnelly. Great stuff. (Edited)

Pretty sure I'm hearing a Big Muff here.
Judy Staring at the Sun is probably the only song I still own from here. They were a guitar band from the 90's who often get overlooked. Not an arty farty bunch, they do good music.
