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 64.1/100, a mean average of 62.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

M.I.A.'s supposed last album is her worst. FYI..this is not her last album. "MATA" is coming...

She kinda sticks with the same sound for a bit too long now. And slowly it starts to sound more and more like basic EDM. A bit disappointed, not too much.

The almost parodic humour on display throughout makes for an uncomfortable juxtaposition with M.I.A mentioning gravely serious political issues like drone strikes for instance , but it's nonetheless an intriguing extension of her multi-dimensional personality. With references and samples from her own previous work, "AIM" makes for a good summation of her career. Plus most of the songs bang.

An aimless, boring mess

Consistently catchy and interesting despite her previous works (except for "Matangi") towering over it. It'll be sad to see M.I.A. leave the world of music, but this is a lovely, headache-inducing parting gift nonetheless; one with chaotic bangers & sharp beats (even if the subtext is lost).
