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 67.3/100, a mean average of 65.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

(1) I thought that maybe, just maybe I've never enjoyed Adele as much as I wanted to because of my skewed perspective. To me, Adele is that not very memorable pop diva which is famous because grandmas and people with no music taste whatsoever have to buy Christmas gifts for their teen nephews or…

1) I listened to this while on a jog and ended up running twice as far as usual at a much faster pace. I jest, but this definitely got the adrenaline pumping. This is the third Death album I've heard and I think potentially my favorite, although I'll probably need to revisit Symbolic. This is…

Un Sólido álbum. En general, mantiene un ritmo tranquilo y lento, tomando algunas influencias del Jazz y el soul, lo cual lo hace muy relajante para escuchar. Si bien las canciones no me parecieron algo sorprendente o que rebase el promedio, sin lugar a dudas, lo más destacable y la razón por la que este álbum vale la pena es la interpretación vocal de Adele, la cual nunca decepciona y su voz sigue siendo una de las mejores del pop contemporáneo.

For the most part, beautifully written and produced, but come on. If you're gonna come away with anything, it's Adele's commanding presence. And maybe you already knew what that felt like, but on 30, she's as passionate and pitch perfect as always.

I will say some of the variety is a bit hit or miss--the middle is a bit rough. And it feels like there are three endings to this pretty long album. Still, better than most pop music.

Muito bom, mas não melhor que o 21 como muitos diziam. Aqui ela bebeu bastante da estética soul do início dos anos 70 que eu adoro. O único ponto fraco desse álbum são as faixas 5 e 6, músicas medianas que contrastam mal com o resto superior da obra.

A very good album, but not better than 21 as some people are saying. In this project the sound easthetic was a lot inspired by early 70s soul music, which is something I loved. The flaws here are only the tracks 5 and 6, mediocre fillers that contrasts a lot with the rest of the album.

I wasn't an Adele fan before this album and it didn't change after a couple listenings. It was ok at best.
