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 80.3/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

It'd be hard to oversell this album as it is a genuine and unique jazz masterpiece.

An excellent piece. I wasn't quite used to Tyner's playing style when I first came to it, but after listening to A Love Supreme a lot, this album has also grown on me. The obvious standout to me is Search For Peace, a song that seems to be jazz-standard quality, and I'm surprised it isnt one.

One of the greatest jazz albums. Brilliant musicianship and the performances are stunning. Should be more highly praised.
