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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Lovely album buoyed by the indomitable and inimitable presence of Aretha Franklin.
Excellent songs, with fantastic vocals and a solid backup band. This is such a kick ass album.
A thoroughly enjoyable soul album with some outstanding vocal delivery being the main driving force of the music. She commands this album with her voice and makes even the not as engaging songs pretty good as you can just admire her voice. The big songs do carry this release with Respect and the title track being so powerful that you can't help but love them. Overall, a record with one of the greatest singers of all time on it which makes it a must listen.
Beautiful voice, very enjoyable soul.
As unique a voice as we have ever been graced with.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T spells superstardom

They aren't all the greatest songs, but the expert delivery can make you forget all about that.

Some of the best vocals that I've ever heard. The album is consistent in that Aretha sings her ass off on every song. Her voice is so powerful that you can hear the microphone losing it on the title track.
Awesome album. Aretha is such an amazing singer.
Favorites: Respect, I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You), Do Right Woman - Do Right Man.
A super album by a super lady. The very best of the genre.
