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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Some funky riffs, but some good songs are ultimately rendered boring by repetition.

Good Times is a legendary and highly influential song, worthy of a mini-doc of its own. Following the lead single is a collection of consistently good songs. None come close to the initial peak, but offer organic and tight grooves that vary from yearning slow jams to slick mid-tempo dance numbers.

Very few tracks on this, but all great and with a hypnotic groove that you can't resist.
