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 52.1/100, a mean average of 50.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 50.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 26.0.

Muitos fillers, mas tem música boa aí no meio... Principalmente quando se afasta do EDM.

No real progress despite efforts to update her sound. Instead of being a trend-setter Madonna has become a follower. Time to pass the torch.

not my cup of tea, this. but bad? there is nothing bad with this album in my ears.
pathetic madonna-hatred hinders a lot of guys (guys who hate strong women?) from even listening to this, I suspect. we all have our crosses to bear.

MDNA is awesome. I've been a fan since 1983. Madonna is still better than the rest. Madonna rules.

Farrrr not Madonna's best album but still farrrrrrr not as bad as everyone tries to prove. 'MDNA' is decent Dance album. 'Masterpiece' and 'Gang Bang' are my favorite tracks
