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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.0/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Last acoustic album from the great quintet. They create a beautiful soundscape that is very soon changing to an electric world. Criminally underrated!

Side one starts out with a couple of downtempo, dreamy explorations, but the rest of the album is more energetic and toe-tapping, though of course modal and a bit abstract. Ron Carter is especially good on this album, constantly cooking underneath whatever else is happening. Great album from Miles' second quintet.

How can this fantastic Miles Davis record be so poorly placed on this page?
