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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.1.

Don't expect the Blackstar effect here. Most of this album was written and recorded before Gordon Downie was diagnosed with terminal cancer. As a result, there's no change in tone. It's the same standard sound of the last few indecipherable albums. Not that I would prefer his terrible misfortune to show up on an album. I would gladly accept more mediocre albums like this if it meant Downie would have to be sick. So sad.
