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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.3/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Great album, loved the last song. Prince had an amazing energy on this record.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Good guitar, good drummer, a couple of killer songs (melody progression in Purple Rain is my favorite part of the record) but somehow less than the sum of its parts.
One of the best full albums from the 80s. Music still stand sup today, and Prince is just an eternal superstar.
Album Rating: 81.78
(736/9)
Prince was a genius. I’m not sure if this album belongs in the Overall Top 100 BEA however. ‘Purple Rain’ and ‘When Doves Cry’ are clearly brilliant, with ‘The Beautiful Ones’ close behind.
Side one
1. "Let's Go Crazy" - 82
2. "Take Me with U" - 71
3. "The Beautiful Ones" - 88
4. "Computer Blue" (Prince, John L. Nelson, Wendy & Lisa, Dr. Fink) - 68
5. "Darling Nikki" - 78
Side two
1. "When Doves Cry" - 99
2. "I Would Die 4 U" - 85
3. "Baby I'm a Star" - 66
4. "Purple Rain" - 99
Libra el tema homónimo. El resto muy pobre

Excellent album from prince, compact adn alectric

This has aged better than most 80's albums. Surprised it isn't higher in the overall ranking

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
