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 62.8/100, a mean average of 59.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

AAR had a huge challenge in following up the highlight of their career, the 2005 single "Move Along," and it is agreed by most music fans that this 2008 release just did not compare. Released on DGC / Interscope (Cat#: B0012297-02) in 2008, this album finds the band in what can be described as a holding pattern. There are very little differences in this album and the one which proceeded it, basically it is "more of the same." If you liked the 2005 AAR, you'll probably like this too, but don't expect any advancement.
