Rating metrics: Help 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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

Albert Ayler, late in his tragically short but influential career, presents arguably the most direct expression of personal grief achieved in the "Free Jazz" movement of the 60s, making it more accessible to fresh ears than some of Ornette Coleman's more wiry material, for example. Ayler's gift with a bold, memorable tune with which to head and foot each excursion also helps make this considerably more direct than much of the oeuvre . The funereal may predominate this record (the influence of New Orleans funeral lines isn't disguised), but misery does not: fury and anguish are far too prevalent for that.
