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 70.8/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

Seldom transcendent, but practically bulletproof.

You have to respect an album that is more than 50% bonafide hits. The rest isn't all terrible either.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'll take Janet Jackson over Michael Jackson any day of the week, easy.
Rate this album has one of the best from an R&B artist in the 80’s. She was absolutely gorgeous looking as well

Tomou conta de sua carreira e mudou a música.
Great album that made her a superstar. I adore "What Have You Done For Me Lately" and "Control"

Janet packed up and recorded in minneapolis with jimmy jam & terry lewis to finally step outside of brother jacko's shadow with fine beats and cool choreography in her videos. Six of the 9 tracks were radio hits speaking to both the appeal of janet and her ability to establish her own "nasty" identity.
