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 69.6/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

Title track is an absolute R&B masterpiece. Her singing and guitar playing is top notch. Her songwriting isn't quite amazing, but still great, especially for the time. You don't sleep at night is pretty fantastic. Great to see not only a woman, but a black woman at this time in history do so well as not only a pretty face singing, but the guitarist/primary songwriter/singer.
