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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

After many years of knowing, loving and practically hero-worshipping Stevie Wonder, it’s only been the last year or so I’ve gone back from the beginning of his discography and listened to all of the records and material I hadn’t previously listened to. This album being one of them.
Don’t be like me and sleep on this album for years and years haha.
Through compilations and hits collections, I’ve known and loved about a quarter of this album already, the opening title-track being one of the great pop/soul songs of the 60’s. But there are overlooked gems here like I’d Be A Fool Right Now and Ain’t No Lovin’ that showcase Stevie’s ever-growing writing and singing to accompany the handful of great singles that ultimately do end up front-loading the album a bit.

Stevies song-making and singing abilities start to show in full bloom. Strong and solid his best 60's album definetely

Stevie's best album from the 60's , the title track, Shoo Be Doo & I Don't Know Why being the stand out tracks. I'd Be A Fool.., You Met Your Match & I'm More Than Happy are also great tracks. The last 4 tracks however drag the album down to 80/100.
Really good...especially loved the track ‘I Don’t Know Why’.
