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 65.7/100, a mean average of 64.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

R&B album of the year at the 2000 Grammys
Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 2000. The Winner was Supernatural by Santana

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.

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

"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).
