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 61.1/100, a mean average of 60.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 28.6.

Best album in its genre. The genre being the synthpop revival of the ‘00s, which was without doubt the most important genre of that decade. The Madonna generation had matured and started making their own music. There was tough competition: Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Madonna herself. But Britney definitely took the crown with this one.
If the genre was rock however (or anything related to it), people on this site would cum all over it even if the album was half as good. But since it is pop, we see these salty old heads, edgy declinists and indie purists with anger boners pop up who can’t possibly understand how something that is mainstream can also be good at the same time.

Possibly my favourite pop album of all time. Each track is strong and single worthy. There's no filler, and every song has its own unique personality. Britney is executive producer and had a big hand in creating this album & also created it during one of her worst personal years. A great achievement! (Edited)

I adore this album with all my heart. It's absolutely perfect.
Secretly the greatest work of art ever made (unironically). But we will never admit it. (Edited)
I'm not sure why people are giving Blackout extremely low ratings. This is most definitely Britney's best album, and although that might not say much, it was surprisingly risky. The first use of dubstep ever by a commercial artist is present on this album (bordering avant-garde pop), along with a load of futuristic production, giving it a sleek, sexy, edgy style. It's a lot of fun for dance/electro pop lovers. (Edited)
Everything should be given a chance. All music is wonderful and everyone valued. Try it out and tell us what you think! (Edited)
