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 68.6/100, a mean average of 67.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

It was definitely not as good as "21". That was the general feeling. There were many signs, though, of the talent that was about to be so well-received. Right now, It is just about my own favourite. If "Make You Feel My Love", or "Chasing Pavements", is not your scene, though, you´ll probably be better off giving it a miss altogether.

Adele is not quire as good a singer as her contemporaries Amy Winehouse or Duffybut she has a knack of writing some very catchy Pop songs, most of which were released as massively successful singles. That the best song on the album, T9, was written by Bob Dylan, should not detract from Adele's talent. In the last sixty years, very few, if any, songwriters have bettered the penmanship of Mr Zimmerman.

I was drawn to this album because of the inclusion of Dylan's 1997 'Make You Feel My Love' - which, on this 2008 album, Adele seems to have given a 'rebirth' - and launched it's ongoing commercial success courtesy of the X Factor. The song has now been covered by over 450 artists! I have included Adele's version in my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart.

I heard this well after hearing 21 - which I think is a superb album. To be honest I was quite disappointed in this album - yes she has a great voice but the songs just weren't as big, epic or catchy as what was to come. That's a bit unusual nowadays as most new acts came in with a great debut album and struggled with the follow up.
There are few tracks that irritate me - to some degree that includes Chasing Pavements. For me the outstanding track is Make You Feel My Love.

Her voice is good, but the album is tottaly unremarkable, forgettable. Overall, 60/100.
