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 72.4/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.0.

The song title "The Fuzz" doesn't refer to cops or anything else you might think of...but rather to the fuzz pedal he puts on his vibraphone on that particular track, a sound you sort of have to decide whether you like or not. Reminds me of Chick Corea with fuzz and distortion on his Rhodes with Miles...except that these are vibes, it's fairly crazy. A very early 70s thing to do, and the whole album is a fun, funky time machine back to that era.
Excellent soul/jazz/pop album. Great songs, wonderful performances, make this a superb record. A great late night album.

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 :(
