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 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Toad's "Fear" is the kind of alternative rock that was brewing in the world that wasn't grunge back in '91. You remember those alt-rock days -- gin blossoms, b-52s, r.e.m., spin doctors... Exceptional songwriting flourishes throughout "fear". Glen Phillips brings susceptible lead vocals heading an underrated band and album.
