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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

A pretty intriguing album, but one that I fail to find many truly gripping moments in. Moondance had a couple, but most of it was just, kinda- i dont know. I hope you know what I mean cuz I don't. And I would consider myself one who is receptive to very free jazz stuff.

Also, lay off the echo pedal man

Sun Ra music is joy, struggle, love, cameraderie, the full human experience. And above all else, freedom itself, infinite and magical.

From the very opening notes of "And Otherness", and through the rest of the album and so many dozens of his records, I knew I had found something life-changing but indescribable, a feeling like home or love, you just know it when you experience it. That sounds ridiculously hyperbolic it is true yet still a self-evident experience for me twenty years later.

Sun Ra revolutionized everything I knew about music. I worship dozens of his 100 or so albums. Not everyone will hear it (get it), yet certainly made for everyone.
