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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

The production is definitely cleaner on this then on Riot. Solid and consistent album. Probably an A. Might be an A+.... I'll give it time.

Amazingly funky album. The cover of Que Sera, Sera, among others, is astonishing!

This group had such a unique sound. The production is great but this album is missing something. It's still a great funky album from a great band.

Still funky, but lacking focus. Perhaps the drugs were taking a toll.
