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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

A solid collection of instrumental jams from a band with undeniable influence on numerous artists that I consider live favorites.

under-rated on this website. A lot of great funk tracks. I dont need lyrics when the music is that good. The opening track is my least favorite, after that though a lot of hip hop throwbacks, but played by the original artist.

Carrying on from Booker T and them; the Meters put their own stamp on the style, though. Put this music on and the whole scene just gets cooler.
It's only "repetitive" in that they are a bass-drums-organ-guitar quartet; they don't change up the instruments, bring in horns or vocals. But the tunes are each distinct; there's not a feeling of sameness from track to track, musically.
It's subtle and chill, a different kind of funk.

A bunch of okay, repetitive funk after the first two tracks, which are pretty great. The influence is undeniable though.
