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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

One-chord jams, anchored by Michael Henderson's bass playing almost the same role that Mo Tucker did in Velvet Underground--providing a repetitive pulse that allows everyone else to go wandering while still staying rooted. The unstructured jams are stitched together by Teo Macero in a much better way than the hack job (imo, other people seem to love it) that he did on In A Silent Way. I think Live-Evil is the best version of this phase of Miles, but this is a funky and fun record for sure. (Edited)

Miles is always doing something new that was ahead of his time.. Funky. Evidently, this is a further on the same road which began from "Silent Way"..

Great album and I love how you can hear how it clearly influenced today's music
This is an incredibly funky release from Miles Davis and it is a record that I never thought he would have made. With that being said, I think this album works really well and might be one of his more under rated pieces of music. The first side is brilliant and it flies by every time I listen to it as I get completely lost in the music. The performances are just so good all over this record and the diverse instrumentation really gives you a lot to sink your teeth into. The percussion is fantastic and really maintains the tempo of the record while giving us a unique backdrop for the performers to experiment on top. Obviously the trumpet shines but I also very much like the Bass, saxophones, guitars and keyboards on here. However, this record can get a little repetitive and may not possess the same degree of experimentation that we are treated to on other albums. Also, it could be shortened a little especially the final track which does drag. Overall, an under rated album from Miles Davis and I always have a good time when I play this record.

Amazing how it seems unstructured and repetitious at first, but there is a coherent method to this funky madness. A brilliant album that truly transports the listener right into Miles' intended environment.
