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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

After the propulsive dynamics of the debut Join The Dots finds Toy at their most whimsical. The psychedelic krautrock remains but this is music that determinedly reclines, preferably in a field on a perfect summers day. Their phasers may not be so much set on stun but this is the ideal music to make daisy chains to, gazing up at the sky imagining castles in the clouds.
