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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

While I don’t think this quite has the urgent energy of Mothership Connection, it’s another really solid and fun mid-70’s P-Funk romp. The bass interplay here is outstanding as are the horn charts.

the album as a format has been around for roughly 58 years. that's roughly 21,000 days...

therefore, if you accept this album's rank at 21,609, you come to the unrealistic and inescapable conclusion that ROUGHLY ONE ALBUM PER DAY HAS BEEN RELEASED THAT IS BETTER THAN THE CLONES OF DR. FUNKENSTEIN (on average). slightly more than 1 album per day, really though? funking christ.... every. single. day. an album. better than this. is released.

according to my funculator, every funking day should be christmas when you factor in all of this "info." unfortunately the info is obviously false, as christmas only comes once a year. spock would agree, you just can't argue with this logic. this album's rank is clearly flawed.

I almost bought this record today, it was a tossup between this and sketches of spain. I got sketches, but I'm going back tomorrow for this gold if no one else gets to it before I do. thankfully, the world is full of donkeys so I'll prob get to add this to my collection in about 18 hours b/c it will most likely still be there.
