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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

'Bill McCai' makes the whole album worth your time. The magic is there alright and an improvement on their debut. Haven't got quite this great ever since. (Edited)
This is how I imagine hipster lounge music to be. They can play, they can sing; unfortunately they don't have an 'it' factor. Nothing to wow you with. It's not bad. There's a couple of alright tracks. But I'd rate this in a category of just above dull (Edited)
