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 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

Englishman Charles Blackwell produced and arranged Francoise Hardy’s fourth album “L’amiete” from 1965. A few arrangements are not unlike those on the early Dusty Springfield, with quite heavy orchestration. Generally there is nice variation in arrangements, which were quite modern for the time, with acoustic guitars and even distorted el-guitars on a few tracks.
Hardy wrote nine of the songs herself, which is no surprise since she’d so far always written the majority of her songs so far. Blackwell wrote two songs, “Non ce n’est pas un reve” and “Le temps de souvenirs” which are both quite nice. The most memorable songs are found among Hardy’s own, though.
“Ce petit coeur” sound like a hit, and the tastefully arranged ballads “Je Pensais” and “Tu peux bien” are other higlights. Also the upbeat Quel mal Y’a-lt-il A Ca” is a favourite.
The great title-track which was written by Bourgeois and Riviere has a nice 12-string guitar, which I assume was played by Hardy herself.
A great album, with no weak tracks.
