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 70.6/100, a mean average of 67.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

After the success of Miami Sound Machine's "Primitive Love", Estefan gradually became marketed as a solo star. The is the only album where both her name & the band's are used simultaneously. Punchy number's like "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" "1-2-3" & ballad's like "Anything For You", "Can't Stay Away From You" solidified Estefan as a household name.
