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 65.0/100, a mean average of 64.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.1.

This one has the same problem that her first album does. The hits are great but the rest is just OK. There is still a lot to appreciate here, and I think this is a little better than the first album, but as an average score it's just alright.

Quantos clássicos em apenas um álbum. A consolidou como grande voz de sua época.

So Emotional and I Wanna Dance are worth listening to, tracks 3, 4 and 10, not too bad, the rest not so much.

Best Whitney album, didn't realise how many favourites I had on here although alot of hits were released, 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' clearly the best track, 'Just the Lonely talking' a personal favourite of mine.

Great voice, catchy tunes. Not a masterpiece - music for 80s night at the bar.

Another masterpiece from Whitney. My favorite tracks are "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", "Love is a Contact Sport" and "For the Love of You". What a wonderful voice she had!
