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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

My personal favorite Funkadelic album (prefer it over the fan favorite "Maggot Brain." Fans of psychedelic music will be impressed. The lyrics take a backseat and the album is more concentrated on jamming. Excellent guita mastery from Eddie Hazel
The last track is ok, but the rest is fine. It's no, Maggot brain, but it's still another good Funkadelic album. Great band.
Great funk album. Standout tracks, red hot mamma and I’ll stay. 2nd favourite funkadelic album after, yet you guessed it, maggot brain. Tough call though. Both great albums.
Killer guitar solos!! Great guitar playing in general. Great tunes, and gets surprisingly deep and cosmic at the end (Edited)
