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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

No comments for this criminally underrated jazz album, one of the best of all time and a live show that calling it "outstanding" is putting it mildly. I mean, where else can you find a line up of alto sax, violin, guitar, bass & drums? It's deeply rooted in the avant-garde/free-jazz scene, played with fire and power, technically incredible and full of passion. What else do you need? If you're a Jazz head, you'll love it.
