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 68.5/100, a mean average of 67.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

Um real álbum de rock! Divertido, radiofônico e com vários elementos clássicos do rock.
A suitably fun pop album that feels slightly derivative. Nonetheless, it's not nearly as bad as some people would have you think.
"Colors", Beck's thirteenth(!) studio album, is essentially a slab of enjoyable and unpretentious pop/alt-dance fluff. It's good, but I'd have to agree with the general consensus that it's one of his weakest records. Ah well, I'm confident that this man of great talent will bounce back with a different reinvention of himself in 4 years or so.

I don't understand the negative reaction. This is so much fun. Beck has always had a knack for pop and danceable tunes. What did people expect - another Morning Phase?

Great album, better than Morning Phase in my humble opinion.
I really like this album. It is a nice change from the slow pace of Sea Change and Morning Phase. All the tracks are catchy and it is a great album to work out to.

It's like wow... It's like right now...

I get this wouldn't be in top 10 this year for some people (it is me) but lower ranked than Ed Sheeran?

Yes! This is an awesome album. I can’t believe the average to middle grade reviews Coulors is receiving. It’s fun , light and a blast wire to wire . Yes I LOVE Morning Phase and NO I’m not a Beck fan boy , what we have here are 2 vastly different albums back to back and both are great . Is Colors album of the year ? Just maybe, it’s certainly going to finish in my top 5 for 2017
