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 64.5/100, a mean average of 64.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.7.

A masterclass in glam pop. Mika is highly original and engaging. 9/10! (Edited)

One of the best Pop albums I've heard. Too underrated! (Edited)
Toxically saccharine pop, but in the best way possible. Addictive and conducive to toe-tapping. (Edited)

A few listens = fresh and interesting sound. Many listens = good God, this album is annoying. (Edited)

Good pop-rock album. Best 5 songs average is 84/100, so the album gets 85/100. It's a funny sound I like in some way. Best songs are "Relax (Take it easy)" and "Big girl (You are beautiful)" both 90/100, followed by "Grace Kelly" 85/100. Notable is my dislike to "Love today" although it's been the 2nd single release from the album.
This album, albeit overproduced, is an infectious, fun and sweet one. (Edited)

This album was huge in Britain, where 'Grace Kelly', 'Love Today' and 'Relax (Take it Easy)' were big hits. Did not deserve the apathy it received in the states. It's worthwhile to pay attention to the British music charts, and this album proves it. (Edited)
