Rating metrics: Help 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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

I first heard 2080 on "Later With Jools Holland" and it stunned me how great it was, it made go out and get the album, and it is fantastic

This album has an exotic sound to it. All Hour Cymbals starts off strong with the first three tracks and then cruises from there. Its a good album from a good band that has something really unique going for them.

A glorious global melting pot of an album that should really be a complete mess but Yeasayer's sense of restraint allows them to juggle disparate influences with ease.

Much better than I expected it to be. My score might go up with more spins. Thanks Rainey for shining a light on this one.
