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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.3/100, a mean average of 67.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

Two great singles ("Sail On" and "Still") and a third single that was decent ("Wonderland"). But the rest of this album is the very definition of filler. Mediocre, generic, cliche-riddled lite disco/soul. The album was a multi-platinum smash in 1979 (and the only Commodores album to score three Top 40 pop hits), but it has not stood the test of time very well.
