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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

There is no question about it. This album ruled in the disco, all tracks playable.
So tight and funky Boogie Wonderland.

I am quite surprised that I am the first person leaving a comment for this superb album. What a great chill out, funky, up-beat experience this is. Coming out in 79 it has a very eighties feel about it which I absolutely love. Stunning production which jumps out of the speakers, well, the vinyl does anyway. 'After the Love Has Gone' is a personal favourite, sublime!
