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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

The call and response vocals are interesting. The repetition and long track lengths are meant to induce relaxation and a sort of trance of enlightenment, apparently. They do get into a nice groove at times: best was "Ali Maula". The underlying melody isn't always compelling, and the long track lengths can be challenging, consequently this album didn't hold my interest throughout. I liked the percussion, handclaps, and guitars (acoustic guitars and mandolin, I'd guess).

The album kind of won me over in the second half. The music is quite well played and put together. And it's certainly something different. Featured in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear".

A deeply spiritual and enchanting set of qawwali compositions from Pakistan's finest vocalist, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. One of the greatest albums of the 90s.

Absolutely beautiful album from Pakistani artist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. His vocals are expressive and powerful, the production is spiritual and intense. A brilliant introduction to Qawwali music & the first two tracks are some of the best compositions that I've ever had the joy to listen to.
