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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

I don't understand how Ben Harper is consistently overlooked on BEA. He's creative, diverse, funky, soulful, and ties into roots and culture. He should get a lot more recognition, and we could start with this album - it's one of his best.
His debut album is just bursting with quality songs.
Why do I adore this album so very much?! It seems like I'm almost alone in this liking. Maybe it's due to a 6 months trip to India, being in love with the world and feeling more free than ever?!
