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 89.0/100, a mean average of 87.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

It's pleasant and relaxing but it bored me. It works well being played in a swanky New York bar that Tom Cruise visits in Eyes Wide Shut but I would never choose to listen to it out of choice. (Edited)
A timeless masterpiece. Have been listening to it for 3 decades and it still sounds fresh at every listen. If I was stuck on an island and could only bring 1 album along, this would be the one. (Edited)
Reawakened my enjoyment of Jazz, believe the hype about this album (Edited)
Classic, one of the best jazz albums of all time (Edited)
Truly a classic. Flawless from start-to-finish. (Edited)
A stunningly beautiful album filled with complexity and subtlety. A definite must-own for any fan of Jazz. 10/10! (Edited)
Non sempre le composizioni più difficili sono le più belle e questo disco ne è la dimostrazione vivente...in grado di far avvicinare generazioni alla musica jazz ma apprezzabile anche da ascoltatori più rodati. Per me questo è il DISCO JAZZ. (Edited)
Fantastic!
It's simply the perfect jazz album. (Edited)
98/100
With Kind Of Blues, Miles Davis shows that he was clearly going further than anyone else, so much so that this album will be a first inspiration as much musically as aesthetically that will allow other jazzmen (like Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman for example) to make very great albums like this one
