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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

The 1996 reissue includes Spirit's single "1984", which charted in both the US and Canada, as well as "Sweet Stella Baby" (hard driving rocker), "Fuller Brush Man" (predecessor to Animal Zoo on their next album), and "Coral".

This album contains a mix of psychedelic, (hard)blues and jazzy songs. This third ingredient (jazzy) distinguishes Spirit from most of its contemporaries. A really nice album for everyone who wants to get deeper into 60s music. And possibly for every one else.
