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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

As always great voice and I especially like more upbeat tracks like my favorite here: Chain Of Fools.

One of the best records of one of the best recorded voices in music history!

Some of her best, and therefore some of the overall best vocal performances ever but also some just decent covers.

One of the best voices in recorded music history, paired with great instrumentation and fantastic songs. What's not to like? Highlights: Chain of Fools, You Make Me Feel, People Get Ready, Good to Me As I've Been to You.
premier vocalist of all time. decent r and b

An impressive collection of songs lined up for a master to deliver.

Obra-prima!!! Do imenso soul de sua performance nasce o hard rock e o pop. Ecoa o gospel e o R&B!
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman turns this album from a really good one to an awesome one.
Simply one of the greatest soul albums of all time. Brilliant

Questo non può essere il miglior disco di Aretha Franklin solamente perché la vetta era già stata raggiunta ed in maniera inequivocabile l'anno precedente.
