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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Wow, another under-rated album here. Psychedelic Funk at its best.

I cannot understand how this album is only ranked 7th among all Funkadelic albums by users of this website. "Cosmic Slop," the title track might be the best funk track ever written. There is certainly not another in the P-Funk library to compare to it. The story told by the writer is dramatic, visual and heart-wrenching. A pure classic.

"March to the Witch's Castle" is a stark reminder of the realities of what war does to young people who survive it. It beautifully paints a picture of men coming home to face the "nightmare of readjustment."

The rest of the album is lighter weight material than the aforementioned two, but every track is solid.

Great Album!
