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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

"My Name is Prince, and I am Funky. My name is Prince, the one and only." Pretty much sums up his career.

This is a terrifically diverse Prince album showing off multiple styles and genres. By this time his image began taking a hit which is shame because he was performing at a very high level. This deserves another listen...

Another great album from Prince & the NPG. Here he diversifies his sound further than ever before.

On 0(+> (unlike "diamonds and pearls"), it's like he invited the rest of his band into the creative mix for the whole album, and it not only shows, but elevates prince's game as well, giving the world prince's last great album. Too bad he went all weird in promotion of this album and too bad people knocked it too much for being a "concept album", because he could've had a ton of hits. The only song that did good on the pop charts was "7", but the album was basically a hot 'n' sultry jam fest from top-to-bottom.
