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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.2/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Jerry's Masterpiece. Ranks up there with Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. The interplay between The Dead and Jerry demonstrates "The Dead" were more than just a rock band. The Weir/Barlow "Estimated Prophet" composition is Bob's best song from any album. Phil Lesh's "Passenger", based on Fleetwood Mac's "Station Man" harkens back to "Box of Rain". The album is The Dead's equivalent to THE BEATLE's Sgt. Pepper release.
