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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Wow, you hear this and wish it wasn't his last ligit album. Freedom and Angel are some of his best songs, and the holistic qualities of this album rival that of Are You Experienced.
Night Bird reminds me of the Alman Brother's... he was about paying respects... (Edited)
A nice, melodic and almost laid back album full of fine songs, including the wonderful, Angel. An underrated record. (Edited)
Feel like this is severly underrated. Freedom is my personal favourite, but i also like Drifting
Criminally underrated! Works on many levels though obviously not as good as his finished works.

His studio albums are fantastic, but this one is an album that was not fully finalized by Jimi. His songs sound familiar to the older ones. But definitely, his future style is beginning to grow and show here. He is one of my all-time music heroes-
The full energy of his compositions was only unleashed when hearing and experiencing them live.
