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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Really great album. For those vibes of sex. It is a mature album for mature audiences. The lyrics aren't explicit but it sounds like mature sounding music. You could also bump this in the lounge and smoke some hookah with this so props to it for that vibe

For your moody moods late at night or at the beach bar. I have always liked this kind of music, albeit it is soft and entertaining. Why on Earth I cannot like it.

Ok album. Best 10 songs average is 74,5/100 and the album can get ok 75/100. No remarkable song. All songs ok to below-average.
Genre: Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B
Shortlisted for R&B albums of the year at the 1997 Grammys. The winner was Words by Tony Rich (Edited)

Has its moments. Not really my thing, but perhaps viable in a late-night context.
