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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.9/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

She was someone who had an awesome voice with some catchy songs on this album. I do think this album is overrated but the musical style and blend of her personality created a classic sound. My favorites are "Rehab" and "Back To Black" (Edited)

Like Ms. Lauryn Hill with her debut album, almost a decade prior, Amy Winehouse changed the game with one album. Although her previous record, Frank, was inspired and original, no one could have predicted what Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson were cooking up on her 2nd, and ultimately, final album.

Like Ms. Hill, Amy Winehouse displayed a maturity and a musical ability beyond her years, as proven by the artists that influenced her work, from Aretha Franklin to girl groups like The Ronettes. With that gift, and her myriads of other influences, she was able to create instant classics like Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Back to Black, and He Can Only Hold Her. (Edited)

Tears Dry On Their Own is amazing. Back to Black and You Know I'm No Good are also brilliant. She has such an awesome voice and the songs are incredibly catchy. Just a shame there are a few weaker tracks that bring the standard down, otherwise this would be in my top 100 easily. (Edited)

Taking a refreshingly new (but old) flavor to the masses. I do like the songs and style but have found by the final 2 or 3 songs, I've had enough. (Edited)
