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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Charli XCX is good, but it's the guest performers who really elevate this album up to a fun listen. 9/10! (Edited)

It's so freaking consistent. Every Charli album has production things I have qualms with (mostly the vox correction because I think she sounds just fine naturally) but I eventually end up being just fine w/ the style because the songwriting and other parts of the production are just so darn pleasant to listen to. This is a definition of guilty pleasure artist that you eventually accept that you just straight up like. The arrangements of synths & those synthetic drums are just so great when the sound goes into my ears and is then processed by my brain.

I like Charli XCX

She went straight to the centre of Pop and exploded the fuck out of it. (Edited)
