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 68.5/100, a mean average of 67.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

If you don't like it, you can just listen to The Reconstrukction of Light instead and consider this version obsolete. That album probably deserves its own listing on BEA. I'll get around to campaigning for it eventually. Too lazy right now.
