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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1972 Grammy's. The eventual winner was Tapestry by Carole King

The three songs belong to the canon of light pop music forever. With those I can easily give 80

I received this album as part of an extended family blind Christmas gift exchange... when I was seven... not the best gift to land in the hands of a seven year old. Nevertheless, I had a cheap record player I threw the album on... and at the tender age of seven, instantly fell in love with Karen's voice.
Superstar was my favorite song. Today, nearly a half century later, I'm still in love with Karen's voice and I believe Rainy Days and Mondays is the best Carpenters song ever and a solid 100.
The criticism for them seems arbitrary. Their arrangements are incredible. It's 10 steps beyond feel-good music
