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 71.3/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

A really nice album, and quite mature following on from The Spice Girls

Good pop/dance/rock/electronic album. Best 10 songs average is 86,7/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Best songs are "I turn to you", "If there where me" and "Never be the same again" all 90/100, followed by "Northern star" and "Goin' down" both 85/100. All other songs in the region of 75-80/100.
I liked 'Northern star', 'Never be the same again' with Lisa Left-Eye and my favourite song is the closing track, 'Feel the sun'. Yeah this is surprisingly good if you think what the Spice Girls were released just two years before this came out. [but, Mel C released the song 'When you're gone' in between, with Bryan Adams, which I loved, too]

Surprisingly nice. The Spice Girls were less than the sum of their parts.
Taste alert! There are some albums you just like and you can't really explain why!
