Rock? Punk? The lyrics are like poetry on many of the songs. Male and female lead singers (Exene Cervenka and John Doe), often both at the same time in an unusual, beautiful harmony. [First added to this chart: 10/29/2014]

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)

This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 84.4/100, a mean average of 83.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.7.

Nice stuff, keep exploring! If you want more jazz, you should definitely check out the following:

Dave Brubeck - Time Further Out (better than Time Out in my opinion)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Herbie Hancock - Takin' Off

See if you like any of those. If not, theres tons of great and diverse jazz out there! Feel free to ask me for recs if you want them
