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 68.1/100, a mean average of 67.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

This one gets some flack but for me it’s a fun soundtrack with songs that work for the movie. It’s on par with The Black Album you can tell it was put together quickly and should not be judged as a proper album.

Slightly schmaltzy (the duet with Sheena Easton is a glaring example of that) but nonetheless very enjoyable throughout (in a kitsch sorta way) and marks the end of an astonishing decade for Prince. What could have been a trainwreck ends up being quite good actually, the funky first two tracks being my favourites, although don't discount the final track which is a mess, albeit an audacious one.

Average pop rock/soundtrack album. Best 5 songs average is 76/100, album gets 75/100. Antiquated 80ies pop music. Only good song is the duet ballad "The arms of orion" 80/100. All other songs average 70-75/100.

Haha, this was my first Prince album. I guess that's maybe a little pathetic, but come on, I was a kid, I didn't give a fuck about Prince. I did like Batman though, that is the most nostalgic movie ever for me. This was and still is a good soundtrack, it's not one of his best albums but it's good enough to make someone a Prince fan. Like me.
