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 65.9/100, a mean average of 63.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Great eighties pop album. Induces happy feelings and brings thoughts of summer. The opener and 'Say You Say Me' are personal favourites.

The first album that was ever truly mine. I had just turned 8. I put it on my Walkman and my life with music was forever changed.

Lionel had a dream ... he "had an A-W-E-S-O-M-E Dream". The title cut is so saccharine that dentists paid Richie royalties for all the dentures it caused. This is where Richie lost all credibility as anything more than a schlockmeister.

More simple, yet effective catchy pop from Nicole's dad.
