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 58.5/100, a mean average of 57.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

A really terrible record. Overproduced and just trying to hard to be relevant.

I was wrong - maybe this is her worst...
Madge overtried with this album. I like it but she could have done it way better. I love 'Miles Away' and 'Give It 2 Me'. Also, non-single tracks 'Heartbeat', 'Dance 2night' were brilliant and should have been released as singles
