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 71.4/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

There’s a pretty interesting back story to this album that you can find on the record’s Wikipedia page. I tend to find that a little more interesting than the album itself.

This is mostly the Giant Steps album done by Archie Shepp’s group. It’s good, but lacking compared to Coltrane’s original recordings. Shepp’s original at the end of the album is very good however.
