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 is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Initially, and unduly I influenced by the publicity I was so demeaning about Eilish and this album. It is full of really good, well-written and ably-performed tracks and deserves it's place here among the too 2,000 albums of all time. Birds of a Feather is superb and hits hard. What follows does not let off the power of the musical punch.
Surprisingly good. I always assumed she didn't have good music... I was wrong. Still a little too clean and overproduced for my taste....

Enjoyed Billie's latest offering. Didn't think it was quite as memorable as her first two records but I liked the singles and overall vibe nonetheless :-)

"Birds of a feather" straight to her best works.
“Hit Me Hard and Soft” is constrained by its production. Almost the entire album is centered on quiet, tame guitar-led songs. This can be made striking with the right hand, but Phineas chooses the most toothless direction. Its flat sound makes Eilish’s lyricism feel meandering and hashed out. The break-up anthems don’t feel torn up as much as they do tired. Positively, the vocals feel more confident and Eilish seems to be becoming more comfortable exploring her range. “Lunch” is also fun with its flirtatiousness and more energetic feel. “Hit Me Hard and Soft” does not have any callous moments, but nor does it have any standouts. It is just unremarkable.
I don't know if it's the best album of the year, but it's what I like the most, there are classy details in each song!! what a genius!!

I was in the process of writing something about this album, but I refreshed the page and saw that there had been a tremendous review of this record posted right below this comment, so instead of relitigating an opinion I basically completely agree with, I'll just take the easy way out and say:
For such a competent, creative record, it sure was dull. It's mostly totally inoffensive, but despite deviating from a lot of today's popular music trends (but not all of them), somehow a lot of the tracks are indiscernible from others on the album, others in her career, and indeed, other trends in the music industry as a whole. How can this be?
In a year full of irritating, homogenous, huge pop music releases the algorithm tells me I need to care about since I spend a lot of time listening to music, Billie's release is the least annoying, but also, somehow, the least anything at all. A truly contradictory experience.
