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 72.3/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Unbelievably 44 years on from its release and undoubtedly high time to re-assess Chaka Khan's musical career. Considering the history of Soul Music, it is probably all too easy to get stuck in the sixties, and early 1970s. i was a lot of very good Disco Music around too, in the early eighties, and Khan was undoubtedly one of its queens. This is very good soul music, and soul/funk fans would be unwise to miss out on this album. It quickly overcomes the disappointing cover of the Lennon & McCartney classic and moves on with energy & class. It is fast, furious and, overall, it exudes a content of very high quality.
