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 63.9/100, a mean average of 61.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.8.

Hearing the song Bette Davis Eyes drew me to purchasing this album. She has an unmistakable voice almost masculine like. Very solid album and her best album. Draw Of The Cards is a very good song.
Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 1982. The Winner Was Double Fantasy by John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Her only hit album(No.26) contains her only hit "Bette Davis Eyes" which reached No.10 in the UK. Although Bette Davis Eyes was a classic, the rest of this album fails to live up to it and she never had another hit.
For a #1 album (largely due to the mammoth success of Bette Davis Eyes) this album is pretty underrated. Almost nothing measures up to the classic lead track but as a whole you get a very solid album here and Kim has an unmistakable voice.
