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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

A influência desse álbum, especialmente no Brasil!
I have some late 80s or 90s cd version. I guess the remastered version sounds better, just like remastered Exodus. This version I'm listening to is the style marketed to the white rock and pop audience of the 70s/80s. Basically, no bass. Who ever thought there was any point of reggae with the bass turned down? Still, it's a good album and sun is shining has just about enough bass on it. Bass should be wrecking these great tracks.
Just so relaxing, this is the album most of the people think Bob Marley is.
A year after his wildly successful and iconic Exodus record, Marley follows up with a warm album with some great songs, it just comes off a little too commercial.
One of the most consistent Bob Marley LP's. Kaya, features some Marley classics in, easy skanking, is this love, satisfy my soul, and, misty morning. The run of Island albums in the seventies are essential for any music fan.
Best Track: Is This Love
His best, or at least my favorite. Always takes me to a summer day, a vacation, a relaxing wonderful melodic album.
Marley's easiest groove. The most relaxing album in his catalog.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
