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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Definitely a turning point in his career, jazzy and fusion.

I've been after a Jeff Beck album on vinyl for a while and was so pleased to pick up this orange vinyl re-issue. The album is absolutely superb, it is cool, exciting, complex, it touches on several musical genres, jazz, blues, rock all cross paths. Really pleased with this purchase.

Jeff Beck just pulls off so much cool shit on this album. And his band is just as incredible (including a 17 or 18 year old Richard Bailey on drums). One of the greats in the instrumental rock canon.
