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 56.1/100, a mean average of 50.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 50.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.2.

Nothing new compared to Millennium, but I like their music.
BSB lasted longer than probably even the evil record company expected and so here comes Black and Blue--the third album trying to suck out as much juice left in the quick to come, quick to go boy band phase.
There are a couple quality ballads here;
Shape of My Heart, I Promise You, and More Than That show some maturity.
Again, they have little control in the creative direction and can't really be considered artists. This is their second best album and pretty much the end of the band.
They have tried unsuccessfully to return, but alas, they lack any talent apart from their ability to sustain a note in unison.

Average album. Best 10 songs average is 75,5/100 and the album can get average 75/100. It's real boyband sobstuff. Music has no punch. All songs in the region of 70-75/100, except possibly "The answer to our life" 80/100. Songs aren't bad anyway, but unnecessary somehow. Like the whole album. Boring.
Genre: Boy Band, Teen Pop

Not that they were relevant before, but mediocre boy-band popstars become washed up on this album.
