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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Ben começa a observar o misticismo.
Just look at the cover... You know this is cool. Jorge's the man.
One of his best albums (alongside everything he did from 1969-1976, at least), super funky and full of swing. The lyrics are beautiful and hilarious at the same time: who else would start a song by singing the titles of several of Dostoyevsky's novels? Or pronounce "laser" as "lazy" so it would rhyme with "daisy"?
The closing track, "Taj Mahal" , would be plagiarised by Rod Stewart 6 years later, as "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?". The original is way better, of course.
