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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

So I'm driving to a job interview on the loop in Rochester, and listening to the hippest station in town, and the DJ says "here's something that just came in" and chooses "There Will Be Love" to debut the record; and it was instantly obvious that it was Marty, Grace, and Paul back together again, and all was right with the world for at least another album's worth...
Delightful! Some good instrumental stuff!

Between the classic Airplane and the absolute pop schlock of Nuclear Furniture, Jefferson Starship actually put out some great albums, this being chief among them. There are many great songs and Grace's voice never sounded finer. The high point for me is "Play on Love." Papa John Creach's fiddle helps elevate "Git Fiddler" as well.
