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 is rated in the top 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Creative production and wholesomeness are limited by over production and pop tropes in this bright plastic album.

It's a very nice album to make you feel good! All of the lyrics aren't very hard to understand and Sarah's vocals are very cute! This is a good album if you want something easy to listen to, are a fan of J-Pop and nothing to challenging to think about.

A bittersweet, dizzying album about growing up and getting on with life, perfectly complemented with more mature production & vocals compared to their debut. I'm glad most of the fun and catchy hooks still remain though; who says adults shouldn't be a bit silly from time to time?
