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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

A better album than the opening track would lead one to believe, but not one of Herbie's best. A couple of tracks are a bit bland, though Herbie can always get a funky groove going, and there are other moments that take off. For the funky side of Herbie, I'd recommend Fat Albert Rotunda, Thrust, and of course Head Hunters before this one, but it's good.

One of Herbie's best and a massively underrated album. Listen to it and you'll wonder how every ounce of music here hasn't been sampled in hip hop at this point.
