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 72.4/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

A somewhat underrated gem. The first 3 songs are great Eye No Alphabet Street and Glam Slam. Alphabet Street is one of my favorites. Anna Stesia and Dance On keeps things moving before the ballad When 2 are in love which is lovely along with I Wish U Heaven and Positivity.
Total genius. Not everyone will get it but this is a classic album.
Alphabet street was a Kiss-remake and the cover is embarrasing, but the rest is amazing. That album is all of a piece. It sounds like something from the sixties. This is a kind of post-psychedelic soul music and it remembers me on George Clinton, Funcadelic, Parliament and so on.
An underrated album this one and also Prince's last release during his imperial phase. Some great pop/funk here especially on, Alphabet St. His last essential LP, in my opinion.
Especially on this one don't judge a cd by its cover!
