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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

The key to the album success was You’re So Vain which topped the US singles chart and was # 3 in the UK. The subject of the song has been debated ad nausem but Carly has stated that it is about an amalgam of vain men she has known rather than a single person.
The album is packed with other great tracks with The Right Thing to Do being a wonderful song
A nearly perfect album in every way. Great songs, musicians, arrangements and production. It is probably Carly Simon's best album, although she has made so many albums, and in so many different styles, that it's hard to pin down the best. My only complaint here is that "Night Owl", written by James Taylor, is not up to the standard of the other songs. Yet even on this track, her vocal is something to behold. (Edited)
An ok easy listening album, You're So Vain being the standout track.

Poppy snd mostly forgettable with few exceptions that we all know
A mediocre record by a mediocre singer. Overrated! (Edited)
