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 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Simply the Best album in my opinion several tracks were released from it, a steady listen from beginning to end not a bad track on it.
Her weakest 80s album but still a nice way to cap off the comeback of the decade.
Another great album from her.
