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 67.2/100, a mean average of 64.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Mission in the Rain, Comes A time, and It must have been the roses are among the best ballads in the hunter/garcia cannon. This is a truly overlooked masterpiece. A true gem of a record and among my personal favorites. (Edited)
