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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Incredible record likely overlooked by people who think they're just a disco band (a term Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards resented). Virtuosic musicianship by all involved, and especially check out Savoir Faire to those who only think of Nile as a rhythm player. Absolutely shreds and it sounds sublime. Biased to give this a rating now, but this gradually went from just another regular album to one of my favorite records of all time.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Savoir Faire, Sometimes You Win, Happy Man, I Want Your Love
ALSO CHECK OUT: Le Freak, the big hit most remember from this LP
