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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.4/100, a mean average of 66.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

It's an interesting piece of work with some remarkable gems and some easily passible tracks. I recommend it. Despite the first track's too-quiet/too-loud sound, the album generally has good production.

I have never heard jazz loops like this; pretty cool. Everything is pretty cool, the only thing missing for me (as I am a bassist) would be some cool beats/bass lines to complete the spectrum of sound, but still dig.
