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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Of course, since 1975, the highest rise in the quality of Abba songs. I listened again, read it, and decided to add some praises. In addition to the already mentioned Money and Dansung Queen, deservedly reached the 1st place in the charts of England, Ireland, Germany, South Africa and Mexico, Knowing Me, Knowing You. Fernando, released as a single, reached number 1 in England, Germany,the Netherlands,Belgium,France,Hungary,Austria,Switzerland,Ireland,South Africa,Mexico,Nov.New Zealand and Australia.Strictly speaking, for me, Abba's number one is SOS. and John Lennon agreed with me. But this album is also very good thanks to the songs mentioned above.The highest level for those years.
Interestingly, in the United States, the ridicule of the desire for enrichment was not appreciated.On the Billboard single, Money rose to 56th place.The British have always had a better sense of humor - 3rd place.Money reached the 1st place In Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Australia, Sweden, Germany, France, Mexico, New Zealand, Costa Rica.But Dancing Queen is ranked 1 almost everywhere, and the USA, and England, and most of Europe, and of course Australia. Apparently, first of all, Anni-Frid and Agnetha's vocals were highly appreciated.512,000 copies sold in the USA.
Inoffensive catchy pop songs, Dancing Queen being the obvious highlight. Nothing groundbreaking otherwise for me but solid enough.
Great record

Yeah, I agree. This is certainly their best. This is what I think of when I think ABBA. It sounds like their own sound.
A few weaker tracks on the second half drag it down a bit, but overall, a great album.
