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 73.4/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

At the time, Chico was the most censored popular musician in Brazil, then run by a criminal military dictatorship; so he released this covers record to get some respite.
There is only one original track ("Acorda, Amor"), signed under a pseudonym, so it wouldn't be censored as well; the lyrics describe a man who wakes up at night, frightened by some noise on the street, and he says to his wife "Call the thief" instead of "Call the police", since many policemen of the regime were murderers and torturers...
