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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Totally underrated. Tracks 1-3 commercial jazz funk, with Herbie on vocoder. I've heard track 1 played a few times by Giles Peterson. Great track. Sounds cool to me this style and also sounds like the cover. I'll take that. Tracks 4 and 5 are on the fusion tip. 4 features Paul Jackson so is akin to a headhunters type of vibe, whereas track 5 is a full on driving fusion thing featuring Jaco pastorius and Tony Williams. What's not to like?

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
