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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.4.

The best Marvin Gaye album from the 1960's Side 1 (tracks 1-6)is brilliant Side 2 is good but has a few fillers. Ain't That Peculiar, One More Heartache & I'll Be Doggone were all hit singles.

Well platus must be seriously hearing impaired if he thinks this album only rates a 5.

Shining example of early Marvin... Admittedly not as good as his later albums but his incredible singing talent still shines through.

highlight for me is 'Ain't That Peculiar' - a beautiful interpretation of a classic Smokey Robinson written track!
