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 67.3/100, a mean average of 67.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.2.

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.

O auge da mãe mostra. Deliciosas batidas eletrônicas, grandes ganchos, voz com personalidade e video clipes e shows impecáveis. A ultima grande superstar!

Huh. Seems like all the elitist rockists and prog obsessives deliberately come here to vote down a popular artist’s songs in bulk.

I really want to agree with soundguardian’s centrist comment. But taking the middle road on this site is still biased. This album is not supposed to be funny, like The Beach Boys’ Smiley Smile for instance. People need to realize that one’s inner and most sincere thoughts and preferences are just very cringy, and the artists that dare to tap into those feelings that people don’t dare to express, inevitably receive hate from the people that don’t even dare to admit to those feelings, because they think they’re fucking capable of feeling higher emotions, but in fact those emotions are just different and they are denying a part of themselves. And ironically these people often unironically enjoy really laughable music like AC/DC and Guns ‘n’ Roses. “But isn’t that just because you are biased too?” No, because I can actually enjoy some hard rock from other artists; I don’t throw a whole genre in the garbage bin.

About this album: some songs are pretty derivative, but the good ones are very good. Much like her first album.

Her absolute best work and a great mini album. Hopefully she releases a short cohesive project like this in the future.
