Rating metrics: Help 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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.8/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

Maybe it's not essential. Personal bias because for a long time I only had this and Bitches Brew on CD and there wasn't online to check stuff out. So I played them both to death. And I loved both albums for different reasons. And I still do. Also I'm definitely NOT a Jazz expert. (Edited)

Tracks 2 and 4 feel especially strong. Great chemistry and great jazz. 9.5/10!
