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 71.5/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.5.

Lots of songs, but most of them are pretty pedestrian r&b stuff. The album sound recording, mixing, and production results are not up to the later standards. Sounds noisy and some of the vocals are not that good.

OK but inconsistent production quality, lots of unmemorable songs, and inconsistent vocal quality with the different vocalists. Only the title track is a keeper and of course that is wonderful.
