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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.6/100, a mean average of 65.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammy's in 1977. the winner was Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder (Edited)
A lot of filler tracks with one real exceptional track that stands out from the rest. There isn't really a lot to get into with this album, it just feels very empty and skippable. The one positive is the trumpets which really carry the album and are very enjoyable on every song they appear. Overall, this is probably a record you can skip as it isn't very bad but also isn't very good so not worth exploring unless your a Chicago mega fan.
