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 64.0/100, a mean average of 60.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

I was drawn to this album because I was doing some random wikipedia-ing and came across it after reading about Tim's son. I really wanted to know what "sex funk" sounded like. This is a lot tamer than I expected. Multiple songs are not his and few give off any funk vibe at all. I know that covering songs was common practice back then but of the four covers, "Dolphins" is the only one that I liked. There are some flashes of greatness in the two songs from which the album gets its name, especially in the latter half. However, I don't understand why he had to say the N-word. Different times, I guess, but still uncalled for and out of place.
