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 65.5/100, a mean average of 64.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.1.

'Anytime You Need a Friend' is my personal favourite Mariah track, off of an equally great record.

Grande álbum dos anos 90, elevou Mariah Carey a categoria de grande vocalista e compositora.

Mariah Carey love her or hate her has an amazing multi faceted voice. She has made 4 really good albums this being my 2nd favourite, Music Box was a huge album all over Europe and is still her biggest selling album. The tracks here are all good Dream Lover & Any Time You Need a friend stand out All I've Ever wanted is also worth a mention.
93/94 at her peak for me this is her best Album best tracks 'Hero,Without You,Dreamlover,Anytime You Need A Friend.
