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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.1/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Not Miles Davis's best, but it is still quite a force to be reckoned with. Every musician who played on this is one of the best in each of their respective instruments.
The best album by Miles' "second great quintet," one of the premiere groups in jazz history. This album doesn't have the fame of Kind of Blue, but it takes a backseat to no Miles album. Benefits from tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter being one of the best small-group composers in jazz.
The people rating this album are smoking dope. This is the highest form of high art. The most gifted band in Jazz, performing the most inspired music, live to a recording device. Nothing short of unbelievable what they pulled off here. This is one of a few albums that had every member at top form, pushing one-another to stretch the boundaries of music, and Tony Williams was indeed the "creative spark." Miles could take any tune and make it evil, and this work starts out threatening, foreboding, and out of perfect step with the heavy tune titled Orbits. A historic tune on its very own. Then what do they lay down, but another gem in "Circles," and Herbie delivers a historic solo piece. Then "Footprints" rocks the world. If every song other than Footprints sucked, the album would still be required listening among jazz fans. They pull of voodoo magic with timing in that song, and Miles proves to the world that he could arrange like none other. Check Waynes version on Adam's Apple...he missed the boat with the direction and time changes, and Miles hit the nail on the goddamned head. As did the whole band. Dolores fits like a key in this album. But then, what do they lay down? They kill it with two of the hardest-driving tunes they could possibly produce. THE ENERGY in those tunes! You are littering in the Grand Canyon. You are filling Yosemite with a lake. YOU are blaspheming against God and Nature by not reckoning just how brilliant this album is. This album is one of the few 5 stars.
