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 69.4/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.1.

Bom pop entre o eletrônico, o synth e o folk.
A nice combo of electropop and folktronica, if a little unadventurous, barring the excellent "Under the Sheets".
A good collection of interesting electro-pop & folktronica married with a set of breathy, twee vocals from Ellie Goulding. "Under The Sheets" in particular is a terrific song with powerful lyrics which combines all of Ellie's assets into one banger. It may lack depth in general, but it does manage to stand out from the pop crowd with its bright & shiny tracks. Shame it sags a bit in the second half.

a good album with some good songs, however like a lot of pop albums they get boring very quickly and this just doesn't have much replay value.
