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 69.3/100, a mean average of 66.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.2.

when i heard that the original medicine lineup was going to release a new album, i was hopeful but skeptical. i had no idea that it would end up being better than any of the albums they released back in the 90's. this is an album that rewards repeated listening, because there is so much going on -- so many layers of sound -- that there's always a new detail to notice. although medicine usually gets labeled as "shoegaze" by default, i think their sound bears a stronger tie to 70's psychedelia.
