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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Fine stuff for your evening dinner with candles. :).
Her voice is original and has that nasal and French chanson tone.

I thought the first half was amazing, the second not so much. "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is quite weak.

This has covers (i.e. C'est Si Bon, Let's Do it,Smoke Gets In Your Eyes etc) and originals. To me, Eartha Kitt's selling point was her voice, so the lack of original material doesn't bother me. I had a good time listening to the whole thing. "I Want to Be Evil" ended up being my favorite-
