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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

78:100 3 good songs, others quite generic light soul songs. Enjoyable😃

It's hard to deny her voice, which gets featured on a couple of great songs and some otherwise perfectly palatable 80s R&B music.

A great combination of Jazz and Soul, vocalist Anita Baker set the standard for 1980-1990's singers. "Rapture" was deservedly a big hit on the R&B charts and the Pop Charts with glorious singles like "Sweet Love", "No One In The World", and the title cut. A divine listen which bears repeated plays.

One of the best soul albums of all time. Anita Baker has an amazing voice jazzy and emotional. This is her best album every track is a winner the best being Sweet Love, Rapture, Same Old Love & U Bring Me Joy. Compositions is another great album of hers.

MF DOOM sampled quite a bit from this album, for all the hip hop heads out there..
Anita Baker has a remarkable voice. A must have soul album. Sweet Love & Caught Up In The Rapture are just wonderful.
