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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

I’d agree with other comments. The songs don’t benefit from this format and it’s all a bit blah. I saw her play live with a band at the start of her career. It was a day festival with Bob Dylan and The Who as the headline acts. Never heard of her until then but remember thinking that she had a future.

Unplugged albums are pretty hit or miss and I'd call this one a miss. The songs aren't as interesting as their studio versions and some of her best songs are missing. I guess that's why we have Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, ha.

Uninvited sounds really cool... otherwise, most of the songs on this album sound better 'plugged in' on the original release.
