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 has a Bayesian average rating of 68.6/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.2.

The best The Jackson's album. There's the majestics "Lovely One", "This Place Hotel", the hit "Can You Feel It?" and the terribly underrated "Everybody".

Decent dance record that definitely reflects its time. However, it is starting to sound just a little dated.

The best Jackson 5/Jacksons album contains three stand out tracks Walk Right Now, Can You feel It & Lovely One also the beautiful ballad Time Waits For No One is worth a listen. Only weak track is Wonderin' Who.
