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 69.8/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

This record has one of the best song ever, but the rest is only pretty decent, and it is suffering for the 80's sound, sequencer and electronic drums sounds really updated.
It's not bad, but apart from Sexual healing, there's nothing great here. Very safe and overly commercial. So-so.
This is not even close to his best record. It's got a nice groove but never really hits the mark. The 80's production gets in the way.

Great 80s pop album and a fitting last album for Marvin.

Decent effort. Solid use of trumpet. Nothing too special though.

I want to love this. It was a great comeback story. It's just that there's nothing standout, too much synthesized sound, and it's pretty lightweight. Let's Get It On tries the same thing and hits the mark - stick to that.
