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 68.6/100, a mean average of 67.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Great early eighties motown/soft rock offering paving the way for his two classic albums. There are some great tracks on this album though, underpinned with some classic eighties synth and electric bass sounds.

It is clear Lionel Richie was holding back some of his songwriting skills from the Commodores as saving some of his best ballads for his own solo work. On this set he has yet to have an awesome dream, though.
