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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

I like this record, it truly is a fusion of rock and jazz. Great guitar work, interesting melodies. Sounds a bit thin, would love to hear a remastered version of this. Some of the harmony can be a bit too root centered at times and there are not enough guitar bends, making the record sound stuck in a grid. Easy listening to supplement energy, but I will not use this to highlight my reckless male energy, because rhythmic lines are too stiff.
He's great when he sticks to acoustic stuff. The synthesizers and electric guitars kinda ruin the music. (Edited)
