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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.4.

Smokey is a great songwriter and his talents are shown on this album which includes "Tears Of A Clown" which is, arguably, the greatest song ever written

A great addition to the Motown catalog. Smokey and the crew create some classic soul pop on this record.

Really good album...great opening couple of tracks, more love is stunning, and ends with the classic tears of a clown. I only own this one and the previous album Going to go-go which is also great....this ones better though with more interesting arrangements.
