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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.4/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

This album was the beginning of a new sound and era for the Gang. With the addition of new lead singer James "J.T." Taylor's velvety croon, the band had transformed from hard funk to smooth pop-soul. And the move would prove hugely successful, with a string of hits lasting through the 1980's. But don't worry, booty shakers, the funky grooves are still here.

While their later albums in this style may have been spotty, this one is near perfect. The six long tracks are all winners, and despite their lengths, they deftly avoid wearing out their welcome. The title track and "Too Hot" were smash hits, both famously sampled in the 90's (on Lil' Kim's Not Tonight (Remix) and Coolio's Too Hot respectively). Third single, "Hangin' Out" failed commercially, but is equally strong. And the remaining tracks are nearly as good. Fans of disco/funk from the late 70's are guaranteed a good time at this Ladies' Night.
