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 54.5/100, a mean average of 53.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 53.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 25.9.

A perfectly fun piece of adolescent angst. More importantly, Taylor Swift's self-titled debut gives us an artist whose clearest talents are already well-honed. I would not say Swift is fully formed, but the bones of what have made her an enduring artist--strong storytelling whose specificity breeds universality, and warm, accessible musicality--are present and strong.

I don’t remember Taylor Swift being popular at all back in 2006 and 2007.

This was the start of something beautiful. Each album only gets more incredible. This is the least poppy but half of it is still strong against the rest of her discography. A must-listen for fans of hers
