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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Blakey and Monk go together perfectly. The melodic playing of Blakey, the percussive playing of Monk, the soulful funkiness of Johnny Griffin, they're all working on the same bebop wavelength--high energy music, but with so much space and silence left in. The interplay between the musicians here is terrific--no matter what Miles said, Monk is brilliant at comping behind soloists, and his way of doing it is similar to Blakey's style. This is an all-time great jazz album.

And somebody gave this a 30/100 just four days ago...good lord.
