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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

I actually don't like the opening track, however the rest of the album is absolutely great. Fantastic storytelling and great lyrics. Favorite tracks "Hang Me Up To Dry", "Hair Down", and "Rubidoux"

Yeh the standard by the first track sets it for a downfall after, but there ar plenty of other great tracks, "Hospital Beds" "Hang me Out to dry" and "Tell me in the morning"

It's a good album but I feel a little disappointed after listening to the magnificent We are Vacation. I could see these guys recording something amazing in the future though.
