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 85.4/100, a mean average of 84.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Probably Stevie Wonder's most perfect record. Innervisions, May not be your favourite Wonder LP, and you may not even think it's his best, but it is his one album that ticks all the boxes. It doesn't feel indulgent or overlong, there's no filler, weak tracks or any missteps, it's simply Stevie Wonder firing on all cylinders, making a tight, cohesive and unforgettable LP. Great songs in, living for the city, higher ground, and, all in love is fair. Simply breathtaking. (Edited)

Let me give you some very in depth analysis of this record...way better than songs in the key of life. And 99.99% better than owt ever released. And better than the best album you could even pretend you could make if you had talent. Which you don't. And even if you do, put this on and realise some facts. Why don't you have this in your top 10?

Although I've loved Stevie Wonder for just about as long as I can remember actively listening to music, I have to confess that I was brought to Innervisions by an unlikely source: the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was their cover of "Higher Ground," which initially I didn't know was a cover, that led me to check out the original, which obviously is far, far superior. My love for the Chilis has dissipated somewhat over the years, but my adoration for Stevie Wonder has not, and I'm still grateful to him for outing politicians who talk while their “people keep on dyin'.” That message holds as true today, particularly in the context of police shootings of people of color, as it did in 1973.

Stevie's songwriting stands out on this follow-up to talking book. I'm not talking just about the lyrics, like in the springy-yet-weighted "too high" drug abuse tale. "living in the city" uses warm synthesizers to entice innocence to the perils of the big city -- stevie brings his best james brown funk. Speaking of funky, that's the essence of the spirituality permeating through "higher ground"'s grooves. "all is fair in love" lightly soars. "he's misstra know it-all" takes down nixon without ever losing the easy-going composition from the little wonder.
One of the most perfect albums out there. Every track is great.
