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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

I guess I'm not your typical EWF fan, because to me this is one of their best albums. Groovy, funky, full of energy and great musicianship, this album represents exactly what I like from Earth Wind & Fire. If you want some real groove and funkiness, this album is for you!
