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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Yeah, it's okay, I guess. (Edited)
An album that sounds like a mesh between Pulp, Morrissey, the Kinks, and Sinatra. Some very unusually memorable lyrics and very fine singing combine with stellar orchestration to produce an excellent record. It is still one step below an all-time-classic like "Different Class" or "Parklife," but it is still quite good. 9/10! (Edited)

I do not care about this kind of operatic style of music. Reminds in many respects Scott Walker.
I can't even remember who suggested this to me (it must have been close to 10 years, lol), but somehow i stumbled on it today and it proved to be a more than worthy rec.

"Not my thing" would be a gross understatement.
