Prince's albums in general are pretty inconsistent. As an artist through his career his self indulgence has made the majority of his albums bloated. This is the one time he got the stars to perfectly align though. [First added to this chart: 05/20/2011]

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)

This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 84.5/100, a mean average of 82.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.0.

Not thaaaat predictable. I'd say slightly pop-oriented maybe? But predictable, no. Not alot in common with mine but I respect all your choices. Good stuff.

there's no problem in a chart being predictable if it is good. And you're isn't... it is great. Congratulations for your great taste.
