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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

As a drummer of over 15 years at the point of this comment, it is now a goal of mine to play with at least a quarter of the enthusiasm Art expresses across Mosaic.

This is a little bit of an underrated masterpiece huh?

This is a perfect example of how Blakey can spot a good composition, make it swing, and get his soloists to attack it with both cohesiveness and verve. While most Blakey albums are memorable for Blakey himself, and he's in fine form here, it's really the brass in the front like that steals the show. Curtis Fuller lays down some very tasty licks on the 'bone and Freddie Hubbard rips... with soul... like only Freddie Hubbard can. A great album.
