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 is rated in the top 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

She has an amazing voice. The title track is a fantastic song. Easily the best song on this. Judas Priest covered it. Both versions are so different yet both so brilliant.
I really like the title track and Hello In There - but the album isn't really my cup of tea

Some very entertaining cover versions...she does the best Dylan impersonation ever on "Simple Twist Of Fate". Her originals, outside of the title track, are dreadful, though.
