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 65.3/100, a mean average of 63.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

As a die-hard Santana fan, this was another slight disappointment. It's not a terrible album, but it is comes across as a rather "dumbed down" version of their earlier, truly great albums. It is not even very satisfying (to me) as a pop album. If I want pop, I'll listen to ABC, not this. But I know this period of Santana has its fans. Perhaps they are people who are a bit younger than the fans of the early albums, and therefore only started to listening to music seriously around the late 70s/early 80s.

I like the album.
It´s pretty Pop orientated 80`s Santana, but the songs are fine.

Essentially the same crew as Zebop, but without the dmsame flair.

Uninspired and rather bland. Where's the passion?

meaningless collection of easy-minded, slightly funky sambaesque songs, which always remind of the "originally" 70s - but they create just a glimpse of it. not a bad record, but there is missing some ardor here.
