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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.1/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

This is mostly an album of Nina's interpretations of popular 60's songs it is a solid album. Her versions of Tom Thumb Blues, To Love Somebody and I Shall be Released are excellent I wish she had made an album of Dylan covers because she interprets him like no one else. Her version of Cohen's Suzanne is also worth a listen.
