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 73.2/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

"I can't go for that" was their breakthru hit reaching No.8 in the UK and one of only two top 10 hits, "Maneater"(06) being the other.. This album being their biggest also reaching No.8. The first three songs are great and score 7.5-9 but the remaining tracks are 5-6.5. De La Soul also sampled I can't go for that on their top 20 hit Say No Go.

Philly soul went a bit hip-hop on "i can't go for that (no can do)" (often sampled by rap artists), but the mostly continue the poppier sound fostered on "voices".
