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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Two years earlier than the brillian Speak No Evil, this album shares many qualities and emotions that album does. There are maybe five albums by Wayne Shorter that should not be missed, and this is among those. I cannot state with any use how well he carries a tune forward, but he rolls incessantly on this album, with the exceptions of the blues pieces. When I want to do a plug of work around the house and want to lift my mood while doing so, I have most Shorter Blue Note albums the ipod, and the lineup never fails to deliver joy. He was a masterful emotion smith.
