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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Singer's voice is beautiful. Some of the instrumentals are lovely too. Really promising band. Strong is the best song of the album.

The first two things you think when you hear this is Florence and the Machine and XX. The third is that this is much better than the aforementioned.

This is an incredible album. Having just bought this on vinyl and having thoroughly washed all the static off and swapped the damaging card sleeves for polyline sleeves I set about listening. I then had to get up and change the rpm to 45 as it doesn't tell you that anywhere... Ok, with all the moaning aside and some might say, why buy vinyl to go through all this pain? The answer, it is absolutely worth it, particularly with a beautiful album like this!

@Mophos really said everything that matters about it. Anyways I can't ignore it's a good listening (good voice, arrangements, rhythm) and that's my rating's aim... a more subjective way.

I don't like The xx so much, but I really like this London Grammar album. And I live it well.
