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 is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

After Gentlemen, this is also a classic by the Afghan Whigs with very good ones like Crime Scene Pt 1, My Enemy, Honky's Ladder, Summer's Kiss and of course Faded which can be played on my funeral if I find a priest who is not too conservative. But I'm happy to listen to this one many times before I die.
Best Afghan Whigs album.

As a bitter dispute erupts between lovers, a fallen cigarette ignites the bedroom in flames.
