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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist is rated in the top 3% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 80.0/100, a mean average of 82.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 9.8.

Quite possibly the single most underrated band in history

incredible band
how can it be that i am the first to even COMMENT on this superlative LP, much less as a favourite or DARE I SAY IT one of the best albums of the 70s? spirit came out of L.A. in the late sixties with a sound that combined jazz, some of the earliest prog-rock and streamlined folk (do you like Love?). you don't need a history lesson. listen to the thing, put it away for two days and listen to it again. Explore. This is/was a loosely-put-together concept album decrying the ecological devastation that was being realized by the youngsters. if you can find tastier slide guitar licks than randy california's (he was named by jimi hendrix himself) then you're into duane allman. and try their other great discs, spirit and clear. haredoug.
