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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

This album is well beyond criminally underrated and good lord are not 13000 albums better. The lone sour point is the instrumental Late for supper which eventually blossoms into a nice piece of music.
I can understand folks not getting on board with the Dead (even though at their best, they were excellent) but Garcia is elite folk rock.

Awesome album especially the first 4 tracks. The soulful playing on Deal is most impressive.
Terrific and creative, first solo album by Captain Trips. Has spicy sacked out segments mixed with some tight lyrics and excellent musicianship. Jerry at the top of his game.

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 :(
