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 47.6/100, a mean average of 43.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 43.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.8.

Shamelessness is what I love about the Black Eyed Peas. Hell, it’s what I love about art in general. Conformist is the last thing art should be.
If you hate on this band, it pretty much shows how serious you take yourself. With an open mind you’ll probably be able to enjoy most of these songs, but no one could deny this ain’t a masterpiece. The shamelessness is not in the music anymore, but in the concepts, which makes the songs very fucking bland (be it synthpop or hip hop). The songs are all ‘kinda okay’, and mediocre is also the last thing art should be.
The album reaches its highest points when Will.I.Am goes full electronic producer: “Don’t Stop the Party” is actually a great house beat, and you might also be surprised when you hear “Play It Loud”. The lyrics - of course - still range from simple to dumb on those tracks, but I’m not reviewing poetry.

“XOXOXO” might be the cringiest shit ever, but I sure as hell respect it much more than - for instance - The Game’s or 50 Cent’s retro-ass ‘gansta’ rap around that time.

There was like four songs off of this album that I was able to get enjoyment from. Because the rest gets either boring or just bad. And it's a damn shame because I don't hate this group. Hell Monkey Business is one of my all time favorite albums. But this is just no. The positive thing I get to say is that their recent single was actually dope. Go listen to that if you haven't. You'll get enjoyment from that.
