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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

In the midst of these love and loss-of-love songs, Holiday drops her greatest piece, Strange Fruit.

Just beautiful. An amazing album with three fucking perfect songs as the title track, god bless the child, and strange fruit.

A solid album, but pretty much almost every track here was done better first time round by Billie.

I absolutely love her voice. I feel though that she did another set of recordings I heard on best of with a little more sass on a best of compilation I own.

Can't listen to it without being affected emotionally. Impossible.
