Rating metrics: Help 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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

A more up tempo album from Al. Standout tracks - School Days, Take Me to the River, Sha-La-La, Hooked On You & Hangin' On. Overall a good listen.

I'm sure some of his other records are just as good, but I happen to have this one. Too smooth for some as a soul singer, I find his voice to be just perfectly relaxing for a certain kind of mood.
