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 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

“They are so young and so full of energy here. One thing I like about this is that Diana Ross doesn't overshadow the rest of the group, it's a team effort and everyone gets her chance to shine. 6.5/10. Nice pop music if you want to have some fun, but I consider this one step behind their 1960 album,…”

This debut is fairly impressive with some memorable songs such as "Early in the Morning" and "If I Had a Hammer". Certainly worth the listen for any fan of Folk music, or music in general.

I very fondly remember this album. The mildly religious and folky touch is so well done that you cannot unlike this...

El primero y, en mi opinión, el mejor disco del trío. Imprescindible para cualquier aficionado al folk.
