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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.1/100, a mean average of 68.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.5.

This feels really good for about six songs and then it falls off and starts to feel slower and more repetitive.

Guess it's not very right for this album to appear on a chart site like besteveralbums. But aside from the sugar-sweet lyrics which sound uh... way too sweet, the music itself is still entertaining, despite not having much production value. And Mariah's retained her powerful voice back.

Track picks:
We Belong Together (good song but not a good showcase of her vocal range and ability to hold long notes with no vibrato),
I Wish You Knew (great singing accompanying good melody, best song on this record for me)
