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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Outstanding. Another massive release from Kamasi Washington. So ambitious, so heartfelt, so visionary. Jazz isn't dead, folks.

Kamasi is becoming one of my favorite artists. The Epic was phenomenal and this is no less beautiful or engaging. I'm picking up huge mid-70's Stevie Wonder vibes here, but of course mixed in with Kamasi's innate and ferocious style of jazz.
A legend in the making. (Edited)
It's another fine set and superbly played but it's just, The Epic, all over again. There are no surprises here, nothing added or taken away from it's predecessor. Yes, it's very good, but Kamasi's heroes like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman always kicked on and yes, I know it's early days and there is still so much to come and to devour on this new record but I am a bit disappointed that it isn't a little more diverse and challenging. Maybe next time. In some ways it's jazz for people not really into jazz, but if this album gets more people interested in the genre then great. Good, but I wanted a few surprises.
He did it again. A sophomore album that not only live up to the bar that he set in The Epic which was super high. But was by a smidgen better than the debut. I mentioned this before but if Kamasi and his crew was able to knock a third homerun, to me he will be the best artist ever. And I do mean that. Even albums I love with musicians I love were never able to get two massive homeruns back to back like this.
