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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Killer JA LP, and one of the 3 best albums ever released by Studio One (along with Soul Beat by The Gaylads and On Top by The Heptones) in this writer's humble opinion. An important gateway LP for those a little tentative about the genre. This is proto-dancehall delivered with one of the smoothest voices in Jamaican recording history; honeyed vocals over crucial Studio 1 riddims. Reggae got soul? You betcha. By the bucketful. (Edited)
