Rating metrics: Help 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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Good stuff. Maybe a bit long and repetitive but an enjoyable funk album anyway

Trippy as hell. The first track is one of the absolute trippiest things I've ever had. The whole thing's got a whole disorienting, low-fi quality to it. Very special album. Blew my mind when I first listened to it.

Yet another overlooked Funkadelic album. This one, their debut, is a brilliant psychedelic soul album from George Clinton and co. Arguably better than, Maggot brain.

"Soul is a ham hock in your cornflakes"

Funkadelic's debut gets a bit jammy at times for my tastes, but Hazel's guitar playing keeps things interesting.

This could have been a great album, but too many of the songs are way too long. Still a good album though.

I had "I'll bet you" as a single in 10th grade, still have it on Westbound records...thought it was so cool...a harbinger of things to come.
