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 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

CBR elevated expectations with this seemingly out of nowhere chart-topper - especially "Put Your Records On". She was smooth, angelic and soulful. The quality doesn't decrease throughout the album. "Star" and the closing twosome of "Butterfly" and "Seasons Change" are also highlights.

This is a totally respectable debut. It is lifted from mediocrity by a couple of stand out tracks; opener Like a Star and side 2's Breathless are both great soulful songs that suggest there is a lot more to come. A 21st century Sade perhaps. Sadly CBR has yet to get there.

A quite lovely album perfect for summer. Great songwriting, especially on, like a star, trouble sleeping, and of course, put your records on, surely Bailey Rae's signature song. Nice sounds.
