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 62.1/100, a mean average of 60.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

Ariana Grande va a lo seguro con este álbum, se siente un poco repetitivo pero su voz hace que merezca la pena.

English review:
Ariana Grande plays it safe with this album, it feels a bit repetitive but her voice makes it worth it.

Pop music ready-made in a factory staffed entirely by porn stars (apparently), Positions is nothing more than a steamy romp down Tired Pop Music Conventions Road. It manages to escalate itself beyond "completely (and thankfully) forgettable" territory with a couple of solid tracks, but mostly this album only exists as an excuse to market the singles. Hard pass.

Doesn't go as hard as her previous three. I feel like the best is in the past. I certainly don't hope it, but she's going in Drake's direction of uninspired albums in the same yet constantly successful style with occasionally some stand-out tracks, and you'll have to make do with that.

EDIT: I wanted to change my statement: it goes as hard as her previous three. However, it still bothers me that she doesn't change up her style at all, so the rating remains unchanged.

Albo competente, manteve-se no trap, mas com boa aproximação de um R&B mais tradicional.
