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 is rated in the top 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

When people look back in 20+ years, Blinding Lights will be remembered as the best pop-song of this decade, maybe the biggest song in the last 20 years. The title track is amazing as well.

The most consistent album From The Weeknd so far

Good 80's arrangements and great hooks, i hope the weeknd continue the quality in his next projects and get rid of fillers, this album could have 10 songs with no problem

I don't know, I thought it was fine I guess. I like "Blinding Lights," but most of the album is just fairly forgettable. Probably more of a case of The Weeknd just not being my thing as opposed to it being not good.

"After Hours" is a spacey synthwave influenced album that that puts its singers voice at the forefront. The problem is I don't think the vocals are strong enough. They often descend it to overly produced synth distortion. This accompanying the long quiet passages just feels tedious. Thematically, I feel like the romanticization of its self destructive topics really prevent it from invoking any strong emotions. Powerlessness makes the tracks begin to blur together and lose identity. One positive thing is the title track has a very good beat.

Due to the recent releases of the most mainstream of artists ,The Weeknd included, I had very low expectations going into this album. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this isn't a half baked record filled with, well, filler for lack of a better word but is actually is a fully-thought-out and impressive project that doesn't really waste a second of your time. Every song is crafted, intricately, to fit the aesthetic of the album while also remaining capable of mass appeal. They're not all amazing but none of them are bad which I was almost counting on.

"Blinding lights" is a classic, sounds like a track from the 80's from A-HA! Pretty interesting album.
