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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

This album is criminally underrated on this website. It is oh so smooth and catchy and every song is great. I am excited to hear Voodoo but Brown Sugar is tough to beat. Might be in the minority to think Brown Sugar (along with Baduizm) is the best soul album ever. Have yet to hear Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite.

Anyways, if you like good music this one is something you can't overlook.

Sublime and oh-so smooth, D'Angelo's "Brown Sugar" subtly works its magic and there's not a single weak track here. Really quite underrated on this site.

A great Neo-Soul album. Not as good as Voodoo but there are still some great songs in it.
