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 76.3/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

Originally released in 1968 on Columbia Records (Cat#: CS 9655) the version I have on hand is the 1995 re-issue on Legacy/Columbia (Cat#: CK 64690) which is on compact disc. The album includes the first 4 studio tracks that Tatum ever recorded before giving the final 9 tracks over to a live recording from 1949. It is an astuonding piece of work.
