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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

fairly weedy synth pop, occasionally it soars but often it plods. And the lyrical concerns are fairly straight, if always playful. So, disappointing for a Sparks album for me.
When Do I Get To Sing 'My Way' remains one of the best things Sparks have done. Don't let me hear you argue otherwise.
