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

My favorite of the early Miles discography. Top quality jazz right here.
A great record by a great group!
I can tell this is with "in a silent way" my favourite album for studying
Well, the first (and my favorite) great quintet. Coltrane like hard learner of freedom in harmonies. Chambers, Garland and Joe Jones, the best rhythm section of history of jazz. Davis lyrical, masterful. What can I say?
