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 72.3/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

The fact that this album was played ad nauseum for a year or two, and features Santana partnering with Rob Thomas (gag!) overshadows the actual quality here. It's slick, overproduced and a little shallow, but it's still decent. Not worthy of the hype at the time, but not worth a huge backlash either.

My problem with this album is that while the singles are good enough, the rest of the album reminds me of walking through a mall or something. :/ (Edited)

This was a surprise for sure, that 25 years after being relevant, Santana would record one of the best albums of the year. He also brought in contributors of all types for this all-star affair, but the best moments on here are pure Santana.

I didn't have high hopes for this album when I saw all the 'feat.' in the track listing. Like all the album even the hidden track 14 (hidden tracks are usually best left hidden), though Africa Bamba is not that great.
