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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

I've heard this album many times, but hadn't for a long time. It's one of Laura's best vocal performances over the course of an album in her early years, and features fantastic backup singing from LaBelle. Nice arrangements and production, too.

Really brilliant album. While her fantastic originals are missed, the choice of covers is superb, and as expected from Nyro they are interpreted, arranged and performed excellently and with great emotion. The inclusion of the Labelle singing trio really lifts the album up too. Highlights include the beautiful Desiree and The Bells.

A thoroughly enjoyable covers album from the brilliant Laura Nyro. Great performances and songs make this a light distraction from her more complexed records. Great fun.
