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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

An underrated album by an underrated band. Their first two records are their most raw and also their most overtly political. These catchy songs never overstay their welcome and have things to say about war and imperialism that are, unfortunately, still relevant today.

Best: Hustle Rose, Combat Baby, Wet Blanket
Worst: On a slow night

This band brings a lot of energy and knows how to party. Well worth a listen. Definitely a good time.

This could be Metric's best, but it still doesn't grab me. This band perplexes me.
