Rating metrics: Help 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 64.8/100, a mean average of 63.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.1.

I think this is her best album both lyrically and musically, but she always fails to deliver her music in a way different from the way they molded her in i.e. that commercialized pop star, who cares about sales and looks. I mean I dunno, I feel like she has potentials; she is a decent songwriter and she has a nice voice that is even kinda unique, so why not invest all those abilities in one powerful album that shows the world her true talent?

A bit of a step away from her previous glammed up Madonna imitating persona. Hear she sounds somewhat like a sometimes bluesy Amy Winehouse.

Another pleasant surprise from 2016. She always had a good voice and could write some catchy melodies. Now she finally puts it to good use throughout the whole album. It's still very commercial but very enjoyable.

What a great album. was a little disapointted when Perfect Illusion came out. but the album came to show me that she can do much more than that, the album has so many genres and is so diferent from all she have done, but i can still feel the roots of how she started up her career. good job gaga
