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 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

I've been a Kesha fan for a while. That said, I don't think she'll ever top this. Helped me come to terms with my own trauma.
This album has helped me through some dark spaces. It was so brave of Kesha to release this. I also love the mix of genres.

Menos sintético e mais tocante. Bom álbum!

Some brave lyrics and ok music makes this a pretty good release. I’m not really into this type of music and it’s something I won’t return to but I enjoyed checking it out
Is it a perfect album? By no means. Legendary? Definitely not. But is it by far Kesha's best album and another virtual 180 by an artist? 100% Yes. I don't know what more to ask for from her. It's definitely important for feminism to be quite honest. What she's been through has clearly had an effect on her and it shows positively through this work. I think there are still some pop genre tropes that hold this album back, but on the other hands there's also definitely some really strong standout moments for a pop record, and that's enough to put this album at the forefront of pop records this year by their standards.
