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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.6/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

I would consider this album to be very underrated. A deserving Grammy winner for album of the year not in the top 1500? Not in the top 20 for 1974?
Overall it is a very good album. Not my favorite from Stevie, but very nice work nonetheless. Some fantastic instrumentation and vocal performances on here. They Won't Go When I Go is a hidden gem in Stevie's catalog.
Fulfillingness first finale, always seems to be the forgotten album in that stunning run of LP's in the early/mid seventies, and in truth, it's not quite as brilliant as those other records. Still, it's a good album featuring some classic songs, including the funky Richard Nixon rant, you ain't done nothin', heaven is 10 zillion light years away, and, boogie on reggae woman. Another good record, at this time Stevie Wonder was unstoppable.

Stevie gets a little more earthy on this one. The beast and melodies seem to come from his gut, rather than his head or his heart. I like it. (Edited)

Wonderfully understated album. Stevie's soul permeates throughout the album, especially "they won't go when i go".

This feels like the hidden gem in Stevie Wonders catalogue I have always loved this album and would rate it higher than Talking Book but below Innervisions, Music Of My Mind & Songs In The Key Of Life. It is the 4th Wonder album in my top 100 he is a genius. This album has a great mix of styles which he would further expand on in Key Of Life. Side 2 for me (6-10) was always slightly stronger than Side 1, I love the closing 3 tracks along with "You Haven't Done Nuthin" & "Boogie On Reggae Woman", Ceeepin' & It Ain't No Use are also 90/100
