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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

A fine listen and can see why some put this right up there in the pantheon of great jazz-fusion albums.
Quite egoless as well. Brufords the drummer and yet drums are the least prominent instrument in One Of A Kind

Bruford takes his already outstanding prog drumming and cranks it up a notch and creates one of the all time great fusion albums, right up there with the likes of Billy Cobham, Alphonse Mouzon, and Williams.
