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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

Absolute classic, one of the great funk albums of all time. DEFINITELY check out the 4 minute clip of them doing Son of Shaft in the Wattstax documentary if you haven't, shame there's not more, but it's one of the greatest 4 minutes of concert film ever. Not long ago, Larry Dodson, the singer and front man, celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary--not what you expect from the front man of a me-decade funk band; I just think it's interesting. This band was root-down funky.
