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 69.4/100, a mean average of 67.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

I quite liked this album, because there was a variety of music types like indie, pop and dance, and the lyrics were good. Some of the subject matter of the songs was a bit strange but she managed to carry it off. This was my first listen to a Lorde album, and I will probably listen to more of her music.

Certainly a step in the right direction after Solar Power but Virgin, like its predecessor, still has unrealized potential.

What a pleasant surprise! This feels like such a classic Pop record, with contemporary lyrics and sound. She's channeling a sub-genre of Pop that feels too new to classify (the best comparison would be Bon Iver (who I had to double check a few times to see if Justin Vernon himself contributed to some of these tracks)). I have to say, my only gripe with this album is the artwork. This is a direct contrast to her last album. Fortunately, for music, visuals are not critical.
