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 70.9/100, a mean average of 67.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Marvin Gaye's early album is full of classics, but there is not much originality in their performances. The album drowns in the mass of dozens of similar albums. The performance in itself is not bad or otherwise reprehensible, but only a very ordinary performance from the future soul master. Worth a listen and a revisit.
