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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Little Girl Blue rocks
Might actually have been better as a Big Brother album; The material was great, the singer of course, but the band maybe not quite what they could have been. Whatever else you want to say about Big Brother, they understood her timing and knew how to support her intonation tricks by this time...
What a voice mama, i ll never listen nothing like you. A rose in the rock sceane...

I feel like this album could have been (and still could be) better received if it had better packaging and marketing, and a better title, which sounds weird maybe, but people weren't prepared for what a change of direction it is. If you tell me something is cosmic blues, I'm expecting loosey-goosey somewhat-psychedelic white-boy blues noodling....like Big Brother. But this isn't that, it's basically urban R&B, what they called Soul back then, and it's a big swerve for her, and it should have been framed that way. I agree it could be a little better mixed and mastered, but I think the arrangements are good...really good. She got away from her "big brothers" and took control of her own sound, and maybe people weren't ready for that. Also, I think there's a lot of "They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band/It ain't what they call rock and roll" reaction to this record. I don't tend to love vocalist-over-studio-band records, but this one is really good, it's not a collection of songs like a lot of those tend to be, but a single work with a nice arc and pace. Underrated as hell, I'd say.

Classic Janis!

Gotta concur with Coconut on all counts. “Work Me, Lord” is probably the best song here, but the backing is a little dim-witted and somehow, everyone sounds buried in the mix. How odd.
This is gorgeous... 'Perfection' defines what this woman could make with her voice.

Voice sounds better than ever. Electrifying performance
The production of this album is muddled to me. The choice of the material is just OK, some of it just doesn't seem well suited to her unique voice.

Amazing voice!
