Rating metrics: Help 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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

This her solo debut is one of her best. The album kicks off with the anthem I'm Every Woman and is followed by the jazzy Love Has Fallen On Me, other great tracks include A Woman In A Man's World, Roll Me Through The Rushes & the Rufus sounding Sleep On It.
