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 66.8/100, a mean average of 64.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.6.

Most of it is usual RnB/Pop filler, but I doubt many could have predicted in 2003 how important those 4 singles would go on to be. The sound of the early noughties, and a full showcase of Timberlakes singing talent. (Edited)

Cry Me A River is one of the best pop songs of the 2000s. The album probably isn't worth your time though (unless you love pop music). (Edited)

Still too much N'Sync, not enough swagger yet.

Hooks for days. Even the ballads are compelling. Still, I wish the production had more character and that the lyrics didn't oscillate between being chauvinism and self-pity.
