Rating metrics: Help 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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.9.

“I guess you could view him as a male version of Etta James, i.e. monumentally talented individual that shines so very bright even when surrounded by mediocre songs and elevates them to unthinkable levels of greatness thanks to his wonderful voice, crystal clear yet emotionally fragile. We get to…”

Andrew Hill's playing on the first six tracks is funky, soulful and inventive, a great pairing with Rahsaan. One could wish he was on all the tracks, but the letdown is only slight. Another wonderful romp of an album in the long line of gems that is Rahsaan's catalog. (Edited)
