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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

Simply some of the best music to ever exist. Although most of their records are worth owning, this is an essential greatest hits comp.

A retrospective where two of the best tracks were brand new, this is about as entertaining a collection of Sly tracks as I can imagine assembling.

Awesome collection of funk classics. Sly Stone and his multi-ethnic band served up the foundation for the next generation of funk musicians, from Parliment to Prince, etc.

I can't say enough positive things about this multi-genre music.

They were so great, so innovative, so ahead of their time, able to cross over into any genre, and their songs are so, so enduring.

Fan of rock ? This stuff rocks.
Need the funk? This is funk 101.
Wanna dance? How could you not!
Need it hard or need it soft, it's all here.

I consider this the best greatest hits collection of all time and if I were to include greatest hits albums on my chart, one of the best albums of all time.

I remember the first time I heard "Dance to the Music" which was their first single, 1968, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, it was the next step in the evolution of funk and which would explode in the 70s(Ohio Players, Parliament/Funkadelic, Confunktion,Slave,Barkays,etc.)..but my favorite of their and one of my all time favorite singles was "Family Affair", 1971.
