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 71.9/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

I prefer Nils debut album but there is little in it really. Nils Lofgren has been a key member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band for many years however if you are unfamiliar with his work dont expect Born in the USA. This is clever writing, heartfelt lyrics and brilliant musicianship. Cry tough isn't my favourite track but they are all good and the album flows well. I have the vinyl edition in mint condition, brilliant depth of sound on good quality audio kit.
