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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 79.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Top to bottom perfection. A marriage of virtuosity and personality of deceptive modesty, but brimming with passion and intention in every beat of this thing. No one sings like Nina Simone, which is not to say no one else sounds like her. Rather, you hear a lifetime of experience in everything she says. All the heartbreak, the longing, the humor, the wit, and the power in each word. A miracle of a record.
Another impressive album from the brilliant Nina Simone. Sings the blues, is exactly what it says on the tin. Do I move you, backlash blues, and, blues for mama, are the standouts. Raw and atmospheric.

The title says it all ! A great blues album Nina at her best. Standout tracks are "A little sugar ....." "Do I Move You" "In The Dark " "Since I Fell For You " and "Blues For Mama" but to top all of those is the amazing "My Mans Gone Now ". A brilliant album.
