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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

One thing I want to point out is that I love this album cover so much. I do love how the cover artist manipulates the wings of the butterfly and makes it look like that the viewer is in a cavern looking at a crystal mural while retaining the tropical spanish heritage of Santana as well as the delicious Jazz funk fusion of the decade. I've been missing out on his work.

One of Santana's softer albums full of atmosphere and very underrated.
