Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

A very good live album, some of the live version are better than the studio ones. Joni sounds great.

I do understand what she was trying to do on this record. She should have hired a better band though. The arrangements are not very inspired and Tom Scott and Co. just don't seem to be that into the material. Nice background music.

In my opinion the LA Express ruined this album. It sounds like cheezy dollar store jazz. Her solo performances here aren't bad though. Shadows and Light is worlds better.
