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 80.2/100, a mean average of 80.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Excellent composition, beautifully delivered. I like this one even more than the more acclaimed Journey.

Great album from the underrated Alice Coltrane. The title track and, mantra, the two longest tracks are obviously the more ambitious ones, while, turiya, and, blue Nile, are more intimate. Very good record, nice heavy metal cover too.

The title track here is fantastic. Nothing wrong with the rest of the record either.
