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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

“1. Aaliyah was a very talented vocalist, and her beautiful singing carries this album. It's not totally a one-woman show, however. The production is often very good, including some of the tracks that established Timbaland's reputation as one of the greats. And there are a few great songs, most…”

After her unfortunate death back in 2001, I always felt that her best record was her last record due to it being experimental. However, after I have listen to this album, this is one of my personal favorite albums and Aaliyah's best album that she had. Just wished that she didn't passed away so early. Her future could have been insane.

Another overly long 90s R&B album that does only a little to distinguish itself. (Edited)
