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 56.7/100, a mean average of 55.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 55.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 25.3.

From Applerill 10/07/2015 01:42 in Future Classics?
“People seem to be neglecting the fact that in the future our aquatic underlords will be dictating the new musical canon, and I have it on good authority that they are big fans of chillwave. I've agreed since Day 1 that is a sea-punk Blood on the Tracks. That's gotta be accepted into he canon, right?”

There are so many lazy, cliched lyrics and "la las" on this album, an album that sees Avril lose some punk edge (on what was basically pop), maybe looking to present a more grown up image. Not that her earlier works were great albums, but she (and her other writers) don't seem to be trying.

The Radio Disney equivalent to Blood on the Tracks or (GASP!!) Pet Sounds. It's that amazing, and is certainly one of the best albums of the year. I'm currently finishing up a review of this album.

I listened to it because of Applerill's recommendation. I would never see it as a classic, but I did enjoy it, and there weren't any bad tracks.

It makes me so sad the way this album got treated. Its so personal and honest and the melodies are all perfect.

Very good pop-rock album. Best 5 songs average is 87/100, album gets 90/100. It's a comparetively soft album by Avril. And songs sound bit over-perfect with polyphonic vocals etc. However I like Avril Lavigne. Best songs are "Push" and "Everybody hurts" both 90/100. Nearly every other song is 85/100. Notable is hidden track "Alice" as slight below-average.
