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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

An album that is just full of warm textures. JMJ at his best - especially enjoy Overture at the start. Kind of groundbreaking in its day - i.e. touring China in the first place.
I really enjoy this album. For the first time I was listening to this album ages ago but every time when I do it again there are the same positive emotions. This is bunch of well known tracks plus a few completly new ones prepared for the China's concert. In 80's JMJ in China it was really something great.
