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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

Probably my least favourite Coltrane record but it's definitely an important step from his modal sound of the early 60s to the free and avant-garde sound of A Love Supreme and Meditation etc.

Relatively overlooked in his catalogue, this is one of Coltrane's most meditative and lyrical records. "Wise One" and "Lonnie's Lament" are two of the most beautiful jazz songs ever recorded. I always feel at peace listening to this album.
