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 67.6/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.0.

Gaga alcança o status de lenda aqui. Sem se repetir e repleto de referências pop, explorar o lado não tão bom da fama. (Edited)

Are we saying this is her best? It could be! (Edited)
The dark pop bible. This album will be studied in music schools. (Edited)
Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2011 Grammys. The winner was The Suburbs by Arcade Fire (Edited)
Gaga just oozes personality, and that alone carries most of this album. The singles are the strongest material, as is common with modern pop albums - but the songs in between remain varied and interesting enough (if occasionally cringe-inducing on the lyrical front). I also love the adventurous electropop sound that the producers put together; lots of it has aged stunningly. (Edited)
