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 49.2/100, a mean average of 45.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 45.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 28.0.

I put this as her second best project so far(or second worst if you want to look at it that way). Overall, Katy has less low moments but kind of gives up her high moments for this consistency. That's kind of a problem, she's at a pretty meh level of consistency. She doesn't have much that is so bad it's kinda good, and she doesn't have the same tunes that can actually stick with you.

Katy did have some good ideas here, Miss You More seems like it could be really good, but Katy never really gets deep into what she is feeling. It always fails to develop and just gets repetitive or she just leads into empty platitudes.

Katy Perry has a decent record here. Fewer ballads, please, though. And it got a bit boring after a while.
