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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

As garycottler stated , this is an unknown gem
Donny Hathaway is one of the most underrated and overlooked soul artists ever and, everything is everything, is one of his best records. It's an excellent soul LP with some great songs in, I believe to my soul, thank you master, and the superb, the ghetto. Up there with Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway was a great artist, check him out if you're not familiar with him.

'A Dream' is not on the original release, it's on the CD Re-issue.
