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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist is rated in the top 4% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.7.

A woman who wears her heart on her sleeve in the best and most beautiful of ways
If she's good enough for Officer Barbrady, then she's good enough for me!!
Fiona Apple = "Force Of Nature" ... and then some!
It is amazing to think that this album is not even her best, absolutely stunning

I actually want to revisit my comment. I'm still equally impressed by her as an artist, and I love her work. However, I recognize how stupid it was of me to view her as a sex object. I can respect a female artist and enjoy her work without just looking her in that way.
The rankings of her albums affirm that with only 4 releases she is one of the most consistently great artists. An important influence particularly in 90s alternative music along with Alanis, Tori, P.J. and Bjork.

So sophisticated for a debut. Emotion, sex, and energy pulses in her voice and music throughout. I wanted to marry her... or take her to bed... or maybe just stalk her.

Yep, gotta love this girl! She takes the idiosyncratic-confessional template established by Tori and Alanis and applies a blues underlaying to it.
