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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Too many covers to be considered the greatest soul album of all time, but everything just sounds flawless and sends chills down your spine, through your veins and right into your heart.

Best work of his is when he's not covering stuff. These Arms Are Mine is proof. Yes he has a knack for making something personal and his with the covers, but WOW with his writing.

The best opening four words to any song. "These arms of mine..." So much heart in one line.
