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 69.1/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Energy dissipating in all directions now, and yet another drummer... still they managed to come up with "Feel So Good," "Pretty as You Feel," and "3rd Week at the Chelsea..."
A quite underrated one in the JA catalogue, maybe because it was the first album recorded without Marty Balin. Songs like When the Earth moves again, Pretty as you feel, Thunk, War Movie are all great. Love Grace Slick's three songs too - Crazy Miranda, Law Man, and the eerie song about her car accident Never argue with a German if you're tired of European song.
