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 68.0/100, a mean average of 66.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

The music was almost as bad as the album cover.
God damn, Janelle Monáe really likes writing songs about sex huh?
“The Age of Pleasure” is a collapse into hedonism. The writing turns a sensual utopia into an inebriated haze. The lyrics rarely move beyond the initial statement of pleasure. The instrumentals are built on limp reggae. The horns are particularly flat, adding little despite their prominent role. The only real positive is that the album flows extremely well from song to song. It’s a bit sad that an album about pleasure fails to give any.
Absolutely fantastic project, very fun album with a great flow. Vocals are tight, lyrics aren't too deep but it's not that type of vibe. Great for a party, poppy, funky with a great vibe.
Absolutely fucking dreadful my ears are bleeding from what they have just been subjected to
