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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 1980. The winner that year was 52nd Street by Billy Joel

Sides 1,2, and 4 are incredible. Side 3 is trash.

Much more compelling than I anticipated, especially at double-album length. The slower side three is definitely the weak point, but it picks up again for a strong finish.

Smooth transitions contrast with an album that goes on for a little too long.

Hot stuff and bad girls good one two punch for a disco album. This and on the radio are probably Donna's best albums over a multi decade career

One of the great disco albums ever. Donna summer plays the 'tart with a heart' on this hugely influential LP. Working again with Giorgio Moroder, this is a brilliant concept album featuring superb tracks such as, hot stuff, sunset people, and the title track. There's a couple of ballads but most of it is great funky late seventies disco. Excellent.
