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 65.8/100, a mean average of 64.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

"Fanmail" threw chlli front-and-center the most. It worked well. "no scrubs" and "unpretty" are the standouts, but other strong songs include the attitude of "silly ho", the faux-romance of the near-porn "i'm good at being bad", "shout", the personal exorcism of "dear lie" and "love sick". Of course, for a group whose first major hit was about begging for sex and their image sported a plethora of condoms (or is it a gaggle of condoms?), they don't let up on this album, declaring their "!@#$'s so tight, will make you c@m all night" in "i'm good at being bad" and close the album with a song called "don't pull out on me yet" (wink wink).

This upbeat R&B sound proved to be succesful in the decades to come from Destiny's Child to Doja Cat. I think it has become so overarching that people don't even notice it anymore; it's become like oxygen.
A really different kind of TLC album. Sounds very techno-pop without being shallow. The second half is lacking.
Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 2000. The Winner was Supernatural by Santana (Edited)

Completely fine. Nothing that blows me away, but nothing to turn my nose up either.
