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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

This is a strangely attractive album with many styles involved. Some songs have even JJ Cale's tone.
Her voice is weird, unique, and annoying, choose your pick. I bet many find her voice intriguing., and childish at times and original at times. Well worth a visit this is

Nice set of covers, well-sung in a Billie Holiday-ish manner.
