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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

One of the coolest records ever. Still Bill, is still Bill's greatest album. Songs such as, use me, and especially, who is he, are just absolutely stunning. One of the great soul records. Essential.

Underrated 70s r&b, with a funky groove and intelligent lyrics. Unearth this gem.

Wonderful R&B album - Bill has such an amazing voice. Highly recommended - not only for the classic, "Lean On Me", but also for the other great songs that surround it.

So good that I find it hard to comprehend why this isn't his most highly regarded album.

A great 70's soul record. Well produced, solid material and that voice.
