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 77.4/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

I haven't listened to this tape (yes, a tape!) in over 25 years! I dug it out of my tape collection (which I thankfully kept) this evening, it sounds as good, if not better now, than it did all those years ago. At that time it got a lot of play in the car stereo! Listening to it on a quality audio system is a whole new experience. Moments of free form jazz mixed with almost 'progressive' rock coupled with Latin American influences make this a rewarding listen. This album always reminds me of summer!
Perfekt recording!
