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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Classic. Yes, the album all sounds pretty much the same but it's good so who cares. They were never going to have a 30 year discography with this sound but it was good while it lasted. Good Times is the highlight, but really I enjoyed all the tracks apart from Can't Stand To Love You which is the only track I'd skip. Although a couple of the longer songs could have been a little shorter, but I guess they had to make 7 songs last half an hour somehow.
funky soul too bad repetitive lyrics (Edited)

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

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. (Edited)
