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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

First few songs especially are highly derivative of Katy Perry, for obvious reasons to anyone who looks at the credits for this album. With a helping of Lady Gaga influence thrown in there as well. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, and overall pretty good, but not as good as the first album.

Most songs are pretty good, it took me a couple of listens to get used to her voice but now it's one of my favourites.

so far she's only strong in small doses. This album takes several steps back from her fine if somewhat schizophrenic debut, as this feels even coyer and more pop-oriented than her previous work, and while has a few individual moments that pique some geniune interest, for the most part it's just a forgettable sugar rush. Neither works as a satire or a dance-floor banger.

A pop album that is an example to be followed by other pop albums.

M & D debut was very successful. Her second album is not as good as the first one but you can hear it :)
