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 66.1/100, a mean average of 63.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.4.

There's certainly an undefinable quality to all of Sun Ra's music, from the most avant-garde to the most soothing to the ears. If I could include all the works of his I love, there would be little room for other albums on this list. The most enigmatic and lasting jazz presence in my mind sits down on this album to conjure up images of after-show improvisations in seedy smoky bars with a band with their eyes on the stars. Think of it as the beginnings of a Twilight Zone episode: a period piece quickly gives way to stranger occurrences.
