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 82.0/100, a mean average of 81.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

I mean, I guess it's impossible to have a "bad" best-of Hendrix disc but great googly moogly this thing is perfect! (Edited)

The booklet of my cd is faulty. It has twice the sides 3-6/19-22. The sides 7-10/15-18 are missing altogether. Too bad, since the texts are interesting. Luckily all the great tracks are there. (Edited)

A really Great Compilation. Are you Experienced should have been included
