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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

I found this record to be a bit disappointing as it played, for me, like a more tame and corporatized version of some earlier work, particularly Rags to Rufus.
Not bad, per se, and ends on what to me is the most interesting part of the record, but I’m only so-so for the record as a whole.

About a third of this is solid, but the rest is uneven and, by the end, downright ponderous.
Chaka Khan's voice is sublime. Very good album
