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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Feels like Remain in Light Pt. 2 in some parts, notably As Above, So Below, in other parts it's really fun funk/new wave. Genius of Love is an absolute classic, one of the best dance songs ever.

After the classic "Genius of Love", the rest of the album quickly loses steam.
