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 71.7/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

I had fun with this album but it's a little inconsistent. Hearing all of the different influences and how Halsey was able to fuse those sounds with her deeply personal lyrics was very cool. The marketing worked for me, though maybe not for everyone else. I will say, there are some songs that don't succeed at capturing the sound of certain artists. She nailed a lot of them but others, like Kate Bush in, "I Never Loved You," left me scratching my head. Maybe on relistening to that specific song I'll start to hear the influences more but for now it just sounds too much like modern pop fluff. That being said, this is an enjoyable album with a fun concept. The meaningful lyrics elevate it above simple imitation.
