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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

This album is a '60s gem. There's a little bit of everything (jazz, rock, country, etc.) in here and it far surpasses the expectations one has about a band that's mostly known for a single radio-friendly hit. Its producer was Charles E. Daniels (yes, THAT Charlie Daniels!).

Quite a nice record, a hidden treasure of sorts. It contrasts well abrasive and relaxed. Such as the difference between Smug and Ride The Wind. There are a few songs I don't care for, but other songs redeem it. Will most likely return to this album in the future. 5.5/10.
Just excellent for light moods. Flawless. Always wished for Lowell Levinger to work with Joni Mitchell. Or David Bromberg. Or George Harrison. But most of all I wished for a Janis Joplin cover of "Quicksand..."
