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 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Elis's delicate voice goes perfectly with the heartbreaking lyrics and the complex but simple sound of bossa nova. This album is wonderful and timeless.
This record brings the great vocalist singing the repertoire of bossa nova's major composer. It's comprised mostly of ballads instead of sambas, so it's less exciting and more endearing. A classic, beautiful album.
The most well-known track is opener "Águas de Março"; not the best recording of the song (that's João Gilberto's, released in the previous year), but the most popular. Another track, "Por Toda A Minha Vida (Exaltação Ao Amor)", is played in its entirety in a very moving sequence of Pedro Almodóvar's "Talk to Her".

This album is pretty much the definition of what would be called MPB.
Quando dois gigantes se juntam pra colaborar em um álbum a chance de dar errado é muito, muito grande. Mas
Esse álbum, realmente, é um presente.

Elis provou que era mais que uma grande voz, mas uma imensa interprete! Fundamental.
