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 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

Master at work. I bought this LP in 1976, but I was not really ready to digest all tracks. Today, all tracks are digested, and the taste is delicious!

Never been a great fan of jazz fusion but if you’re going down that route it doesn’t get much better than this

Vast improvement over Blow by Blow on all fronts. One of the best jazz fusion albums.

The worthy follow-up to Beck's seminal Blow By Blow, this disc boasts some outstanding fusion workouts. "Led Boots," a fine interpretation of "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" and keyboardist Jan Hammer's "Blue Wind" totally kick ass. Outstanding guitar work from one of the greats in his prime.
