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 69.0/100, a mean average of 67.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

This is the first album I have bought by this band so I have nothing to compare it to. Picked up a really good original copy on vinyl at a second hand record store. After a thorough clean I am pleased to say it plays like new and I really like the style which is bordering on progressive, well to me anyway. Moments of funk and jazz intertwine with rockin guitar and a strong vocal performance throughout. I can see myself reaching for this one quite often, as a part of my Sunday morning prog session.

The last worthy Chicago album.
