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 80.6/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

An absolute classic for your late-night moods. Great arrangements and lovely tones. Jazz played like this can never go wrong. (Edited)

A masterpiece. Bill Evans conducts his trio with the precision of an orchestra maestro. The recording is not only a showcase of live talent, but also a collection of lush, decadent arrangements. (Edited)

My Foolish Heart and Detour Ahead feel like Bill Evans is plucking your heartstrings. The lightness and soft nature of this album reflect the delicateness of a fragile heart. His cover over Milestones is also a testament to his ability to play variations on established modes. Very enjoyable record. (Edited)
