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 72.3/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

The band, comprised of two sisters (who happened to be twins) of Echo and the Bunnymen's drummer Pete DeFrietas, and three college mates of the women, put out their debut of late 80's sounding dream pop at the start of the next decade. They scored moderate success with the single "Dreamtime" somewhat indicative of the upcoming shoegaze movement about to strike Great Britain. Unfortunately none of the remainder of the album (or their follow-up releases) could match that intensity. Should have been bigger.

Why the band never had any success is real mystery.
