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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

I liked this far more than I expected. One thing that stands out to me about the Velvet Rope is simply how successful it is at being ambitious.

Not much memorable for me on this one and, consistent with many highly regarded 90s R&B albums, it's really long. I did enjoy the unexpected Joni Mitchell interpolation.

Grande álbum de Janet, mais exposta do que nunca.
After Janet's breakdown in the mid-nineties, she took a long break from music to focus on her mental health. The Velvet Rope is where Janet finally came back with a new album, and while the themes and lyrics are dark, the album focuses mainly on loving one's self. The highlights of the album include "Free Xone", "Rope Burn", and "Anything".
The Velvet Rope is largely considered Janet's masterpiece album - and I would have to agree.

Seriously underrated.

Along with "Janet", her previous album, this is right up there amongst the best RnB soul records 0f modern times. Best tracks "Free Zone " "Got 'Till It's Gone" "You" "I Get Lonely" "What About" and of course "Together Again.

A very lovely jewel made by one of our greatest entertainers the world ever known.
Rather average
Already Classic Album from Janet Jackson - very deep and soulful. Favorite tracks - "Together Again" and "Every Time"
