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 72.4/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

A cool beach. Hours after the rain and the world is still. The clouds are there and the place is quite empty because it's not the holiday. Dreaded November. There is reason to smile. 'Dreaming Of You' is holding onto hope with burnt hands. But it all doesn't matter. Miserable weather is what you want because it makes you happy. Love exists in the pockets and caves which surround the world in the unwanted places. The Coral are life. Don't let others doubt it.

Sometimes you wonder what everyone else is listening to when you see the average scores for this joyous record. (Edited)

...'Goodbye''s guitar riff is vaguely similar to the melody of "It's A Small World".....
The rest of the album is a bit boring, tonnes of similar bands that are much better.
