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 87.1/100, a mean average of 86.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

A simply phenomenal album. The American version, and yes, the American cover, are superior. (Edited)

One of the most important and influential debut albums ever. Jimi Hendrix is off course quite rightly regarded as one of the all time great guitar players, but what is sometimes forgotten is how much of a fantastic songwriter he was. This album is full of some of those great songs. Foxy lady, kicks things off and Hendrix gives us mindblowing performance after mindblowing performance. The energetic, fire, the burning blues of, red house, and the excellent title track are just a few of the many delights here. The CD version adds Hendrix's first three amazing singles and their equally stunning b-sides. Hey Joe, purple haze, and, the wind cries Mary, are three of the most exciting singles of the late sixties, and, stone free, on the flip side of, hey Joe, is arguably even better than the a-side. A fantastic record that every music fan should have in their collection. (Edited)

Now, this is a fuckin' Power Trio! My god, they're great!
Mitch Mitchell is a fuckin' beast on drums!
I can't notice Noel Redding cause he is completely locked and fused with the rest.
And Hendrix... sounds like he is taming a fuckin' lion. Also sometimes people forget that he was an awesome vocal performer.
It's one of those records that if you crank it, will make you feel alive as fuck!

This is what risk and urgency sounds like and it's amazing!

80/100 for the U.K. version.
95/100 for the U.S. version.

One is very good, the other is absolutely brilliant.
