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 68.5/100, a mean average of 65.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.7.

There is something about the odd electro edge to this album, that makes this album that much less bland than his previous. It works finally. Women love it, with some female artists making songs with a Ne-Yo sound in 2008 ("All I See" by Kylie Minogue for an example where it works really well). But a lot of traction beyond that it didn't get; EDM would blow up and trap was starting to become enormous, who was waiting for '00s R&B then? But it certainly deserves a mention.
