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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Not a bad compilation but if you have only one by Mr. Brown this is it.

If "Live at the Apollo" perfectly captures him inventing the soul genre and kicking ass, "In the Jungle Groove" does the same with funk. What a guy.

Break samples galore. Essence of funk to the point of abstraction. Fucking avant-garde shit. You need this in your life.

I am amazed at what James Brown can pull off. This disc has some long jams, with little more than a single riff while James screams intermittently over it.
