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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

Accessible Coltrane record and another of those excellent late fifties recordings. Nice backing too. Enjoyable listen.
Tough, almost menacing record. Coltrane never did anything quite like it again. One of my favorites, with it's rumbling baritone and darting rhythms. "Route 4" and the aptly titled "Cat Walk" are the highlights.
