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 68.8/100, a mean average of 66.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.6.

“If this is aimed at me I apologize. I don't mean to come off as bashing pop punk, that's been done plenty by others in the past. I am just curious as to what Permafrost's favorite aspects of pop punk are since his original post mostly stated his idea that there will be a critical turn around in…”

Not the most exhilarating album. Lyrics are really bad, it's overproduced I think, songwriting is generic, sounds the same as every Southamerican pop record. I know some people won't agree with this (eg. "be opeen-minded!"), but I just can't see a good side of the record, and the half-nude picture surely doesn't distract me enough to overlook awful music. I didn't mean to sound so harsh, so my apologies if anyone is offended.

It's Shakira at her rawest in English. However, her eccentric way with words allows her to make great tunes like Whenever Wherever, Underneath Your Clothes, Objection, and Poem To a Horse. And even though she writes some funny lyrics, she makes up for it with operatic vocals and an interesting musical fusion that let's you know it's Shakira.

Good pop rock album. Best 10 songs average is 86,7/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Best song is "Whenever, wherever" 95/100, followed by "Underneath your clothes" and "The one" both 90/100 and next "Objection (tango)" 85/100. All other songs good 80/100.

Opening song is outstanding, next few are pretty good and then it gets progressively worse from there. Still not a bad pop rock album by any means.

It's pop, but it was pretty interesting pop for a 12-year-old me.
