Rating metrics: Help 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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Smokey shows that he's capable of writing more than one gem, but most of this album is just solid poppy R&B.

For me... Tracks Of My Tears is one of the best songs ever written. Somehow it hits home for me. People think I'm all nice and happy when I don't feel that way. Problem with this record is only the hits are really worth my time. So I'll be listening to his greatest hits.
