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 49.9/100, a mean average of 47.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 47.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.6.

“Okay, so at the end of 2012, I thought was the worst album of the year, yet it was the best of the year by my girlfriend at the time (and several of our mutual friends). She told me back then: ...It speaks to me... it is definitely more of a girls album though. to me, it sounds like the soundtrack…”

“I know we're all done with 2012 now, but with five people I know considering this the best album of the year, I wanted to know what you guys think of it. To me at this moment, it seems like the single worst album of the year. And I'm not even saying that as a rockist, or Carly Rae Jepson wouldn't…”

Really not that bad compared to most of the shitty pop groups that take over the radio. This group is at least talented and can make some listenable music. Some good catchy songs on here, some horrible songs too though.

Maroon 5 is usually able to pull out a few standout tracks,but on this album, the standout tracks aren't too standout.

The Maroon 5 radio hit machine chugs along. Recognizing the growing popularity of rap, Maroon 5 does some features to stay on top of the charts.

The singles that make it big are catchy good like always. The album itself sucks like always.

Take Maroon 5 for what it is. Each album has 2 or 3 catchy good radio singles and the rest is trash
