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 has a Bayesian average rating of 64.0/100, a mean average of 63.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.0.

Please do not judge this album based on Run the World. It is clearly the worst track coming from someone who has listened to the whole album dozens of times.
This has some of her best songs, Countdown being my all time favorite but also Best I Never Had, Start Over, and Love on Top are highlights.

It's pretty decent, a solid pop album, there are some interesting things going on the production. The lyrics are very simple and the album is easygoing, but there are low points on some ballads like "I Care" and "I Miss You" that can sound boring, and of course "Run the World (Girls)", the worst of the album. There are great songs like "Love on Top", "Countdown" and "1+1", plus Beyonce makes justice to the retro sound with her vocals.

Admittedly I'm 4 years late to comment on this. Like the album. Even Like Run The World. Think it's sample from Pon De Floor mixed with percussion works well, especially in clubs and it's a great track when performed live.
Gets a lot of criticism for being pro woman. So what?

It's solid. I wouldn't call it refreshing, and suffers from being overlong. I could've done without Run The World, I'll admit.

Punishing this album mostly for 'Run the World'.

Some sins can't be forgiven.
