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 69.0/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Starts out as one of the most incredible pop albums of all time, but after those first three magical tune, ABC trails off a bit until the cover of the Delfonics La La (Means I Love You). The Funkadelic cover that follows it a weird one too. The bulk of the album could be tossed away, but those first 3 tracks are too good to ignore.

The 2nd Jackson 5 album is ok but is full of fillers The Love You Save & ABC stand out from the rest other good tracks are 2-4-6-8 & I Found That Girl.
A fun record, Motown pop for kids of all ages.
