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 68.4/100, a mean average of 65.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

One of the most underrated albums ever released, The Knack's Round Trip was the final studio album (featuring all original members) they released. Critically derided and charting an abysmal #93, the band broke up the following year. Round Trip is actually a much better album than many suspect. It shows a much more matured Knack in comparison to their first two albums and it's a shame it's mostly forgotten by now
