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 has a Bayesian average rating of 59.3/100, a mean average of 57.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.4.

Original MJs versions are amazing. All remixes except "Love Never Felt So Good" and "Slave To The Rhythm" are total crap.

i don't think anyone should promote grave robbery like this, it honestly feels like a crime.

Man, that first track is so R&B funky-hot it could fit on "Off the Wall". The rest, well, feels like a hodgepodge of good Jacko ("chicago") to songs that didn't make a previous album for a reason ("slave to the rhythm"). LA Reid curated "Xscape" so it feels fairly cohesive and what were once demos feel fairly fleshed-out, it's just that this album kind of feels like a cash grab (probably the first of many in a 2pac style release-a-year-cash-grab) which makes it less-enjoyable than it could be... (But DAMN that 1st track is HOT!)
