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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

Other than the incest song, this is basically perfect.

Prince's first masterpiece. For You is pretty forgettable, and the self-titled album is enjoyable but that's about it. Dirty Mind is a quantum leap forward, a masterful half an hour of music that blends funk with new wave, all produced in a very unique and idiosyncratic way like only Prince could. It's fantastic, front to back.
This album brings new things to funk, but for me there is no outstanding content.
Best two tracks are the last two, "sister" and "partyup", Can listen to these two over and over but the rest of the album is average.

Fun album, but not much lasting impact. The production is pretty lo-fi and can sometimes detract from the songs. "When You Were Mine" remained one of his best songs, and it's a taste of what's to come.
One of his very best records. It's a great listen, but the last two tracks drag a little bit.

Prince entered the 80s not playing around at all. This might prove to be my favorite overall Prince album.
Just a great funk-pop record. Definitely of its time but a good listen

The music is definitely great, but the vocals range from adequate to downright bad, a particular lowlight is "When You Were Mine".
