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 has a Bayesian average rating of 63.7/100, a mean average of 62.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.1.

Esse álbum deveria ser mais reconhecido, é um dos melhores do anos 70 em minha opinião, sendo o meu favorito da carreira do Michael durante a era Motown.

His interpretations of 'Ain't No Sunshine' and 'Maria' are so impressive. And he was only 13 years old by that time.
