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 is rated in the top 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Hard pick between this and 'Nightclubbing' but this one just gets the nod for favoritism from me. Reason being I feel this has less tracks that I'd put in the filler category and doesn't just ride on the back of a couple of killer popular songs. (Edited)

The second best Grace Jones album after Nightclubbing, the first three tracks are brilliant (Side 1) and the final track Unlimited Capacity For Love completes a really good album.
