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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

“In which Jarvis Cocker borrows heavily from Tommy James' "Crimson and Clover" to produce the best song off of his debut solo record. Five years after Pulp went on hiatus, Cocker released Jarvis, an album that is a little underwhelming, but does have a couple of goodies including "Black Magic", and…”

Cocker's first solo effort and a slight step away from Pulp's sound has helped. The tracks 'Fat Children' and 'I Will Kill Again' make that division even clearer.
