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 76.8/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.4.

Motor Booty Affair is my favourite Parliament album. It even stands tall above many Funkadelic albums, which are typically my preferred between the dual P-Funk acts. It's the funnest, funniest, grooviest, slickest of the bunch, with every track being killer. Even its cover is awesome.
Mr. Wiggles (and Giggle and Squirm) opens the album, following the Parliament trend of opening up albums with supreme rapability, and it introduces the theme of the album: aqua boogie.
Rumpofsteelskin follows and grooves with a dozen irresistably catchy tunes. Perfect for the dancefloor, it's a track that never fails to excite and uplift.
One of the album's hits, Water Sign, is one of the band's very best. This song melds a laidback, aquatic atmosphere with a tinge of freak and straight-faced humour. I can put this song on at any time of any day and be helplessly mesmerized.
Aquaboogie is another consummate piece of dancefloor funk along the lines of Rumpofsteelskin. Pure joy. The intro never fails to make me laugh, too.
One of Those Funky Things is a mildly intense track veiled by a lighthearted facade, driven by hard hitting bass, brilliant production and stellar female vocals. That harmonising "let's get ahhh" grabs me every time, and there's something about the pacing of it that makes it very special.
Liquid Sunshine is in the same vein of the previous track, with a very poppy, upbeat melody. It defines the carefree, joyous feeling of this album that I adore so much.
The Motor-Booty Affair is the best song here. As with Water Sign, it has an indescribable vibe to it that utterly entrances, and as with One of Those Funky Things, it has an undercurrent of menace - both of which help make it a unique song unlike anything I've heard. It grooves harder than any other song here, too, which is what makes it my favourite.
Deep took a little while to grow with me... but now I'm wondering why. It's the longest track here, and the most repetitive, echoing the standard of Parliament's next album, Gloryhallastoopid, but that doesn't stop it from being groovy as hell. As with every song on the album, it's so damn catchy, and has a great feel to it.
I absolutely love this album. It's a new romance, but I cherish it, and I enjoy it more every single time I listen to it. It's an album with an aura... it makes you feel a certain way when listening - and albums like this are the ones I hold closest to my heart. They're the most memorable and engaging.
