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 80.8/100, a mean average of 80.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Excellent. Really comes alive in the back half.
An excellent album; Not a weak track anywhere. "Superstition" is one of the greatest songs ever written. Tracks 1, 7, and 10 are highlights. 9.5/10!
This is a phenomenal album - so many great tracks culminating in Superstition. What a funk.
Great record
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Mi disco favorito de los innumerables trabajos de Wonder, con clásicos como You Are The Sunshine Of My Life y Superstition.
doesn't strike me

Not on the level of Innervisions, but still important.

Another classic from the Musical Genius! Rating (84.00)
Great album. I think I may actually prefer this to SITKOL. Lovin those early seventies keyboard sounds, particularly on Superstition.

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 :(
