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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Along with War Of The Gods his best album, I give this one the edge because of Mrs Jones and his take on Your Song and Am I Black Enough For You. Other favourites that usually appear in his "Best Of" albums are Brown Baby and his take on the Carole King classic It's Too Late

Good, not great. Hits aside, "I'm Just a Prisoner" is what you want - epic track, like an Isaac Hayes who would smell more of silk and less of sweat.
