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 68.1/100, a mean average of 66.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

Such an interesting sound, I don't really get the cover, she definitely evolved after this.

Great production. Really good individual tracks, but lacks cohesiveness. Features are solid, singles were the right choice. Overall, solid pop album.

Slightly less trite and canned than other pop music this year. Nothing to get excited about but delivers above my expectations. Some inventiveness on Pharrell's track, no surprise, largely falls apart in the second half.

Top notch pop music. Not much more to it, but who cares? Ariana doesn’t for sure, she’s young, hot and succesful.
