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 64.8/100, a mean average of 62.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.6.

Janet continues down the road of sexed up vixen with limited success. Her frail, wispy vocals can't handle a lot of weight. I miss the days of "Rhythm Nation" and when she was in "Control". What really detracts from this album is the sparse production and lack of musical beds provided by Jermaine Dupree. It's basically just anonymous rhythm tracks, dressed up occasionally with an interjection of synths.

This album has grown on me over the years it had a rating of 70 when I first rated it but since I rearranged the playing order and left out the "interlude" tracks its now a favourite album of mine, better than Damita Jo & 20YO.

It's...a C minus. It's pop, but is it groundbreaking? Is it good? Not every Janet album has to be perfect/groundbreaking, but it cannot sound bland. This album sadly isn't good, especially for Janet.
