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 79.0/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

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.
