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 68.7/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1991 Grammys. The winner was Back On The Block by Quincy Jones (Edited)

A very good album although I still prefer Face Value as an entity. Some excellent offerings on here but there's one or two that don't quite hit the mark. Big plus to Hang In Long Enough, That's Just The Way It Is, Paradise, Colours, I Wish It Would Rain Down, Find A Way To My Heart, Father To Son and Heaven.

There are 3 things that best illustrate you've given up on life: owning a pair of Crocs, wearing a pair of Crocs and listening to this guff. (Edited)

He's reaching here, with probably his best lyrics in ages. But it's still boring.
