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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

A very cerebral album. The best by the group

One of my favorite "Return To Forever" album. Not as critically acclaimed as Corea's early releases but the reincarnation of the group as it appears in this album with Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White being part of it, remains the best one in my opinion.
