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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

May not match the quality of his 80's classic albums but he's still got it and a step up from Batman & Graffiti Bridge
I dont think have a bad album in his first 15 year trayectory
A sort of comeback. Unpredictable, he is
Really don't understand the hate for this one. Sure, it is a bit of a departure and perhaps Prince isn't the world's greatest rapper. But I thought it was a great listen, would definitely listen again.
His attempts at hip hop are ridiculously dated, but about half the album is very solid.
Uneven, but I can't really complain too much when you've got Diamonds and Pearls, Gett Off, and Cream on one record.

Hmm... Prince is getting hornier and hornier. This is where he finds a nice balance between swag, funk and sex.
His spottiest album to date (including the most-hated Batman soundtrack) but Prince wanted hits, and he got them in spades here. And lets be honest, Gett Off has lost none of its luster in 22 years.

The last 4 tracks are delicious...

It's a great party album. It has lots of rhythm and tons of energy. One of Prince's best albums does not get enough credit but I am a huge Prince fan.
