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 63.5/100, a mean average of 63.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 25.4.

Taylor Swift is definitely talented and has creative potential which is sometimes hard to see because of the way musical multi-media builds up all the modern-day hype AKA style over substance. Red is perhaps her initial 'grown-up' album and has some good songs on it: '22', the title track, 'We are never...' I like her clarity of voice and the up-beat feel of the production despite the nature of some of the subject matter. I do wonder how she will progress in years to come and look forward to what comes forth.

There is a certain point in many artist's careers when they cease to follow their own creative path and succumb to the pressures of creating "popular" music. Taylor Swift has now hit that point.

I can't believe that I liked a Taylor Swift album. A great crossover album. A collection of radio-friendly singles some of which will play top 40, some will play country and some indy. It is produced and tuned up the wazoo so you have to accept that. I enjoyed 12 of the 16 songs and thought 3 of the other 4 were okay. My faves are State of Grace, All Too Well and Begin Again.

Taylor Swift may be the best songwriter of her generation. She has a way to create a world and pull you in like a Star Trek holodeck program. Contrary to some other comments here, she is getting better. Her writing is more varied topically while still having that world-weaving spell quality; music is becoming more enjoyable, better produced, better orchestrated.

Maybe is not as consistent as her other albums, but this album delivers some brilliant pop tunes. "22", "We are never..." are party anthems.
You can see some kind of departure from her previous albums. Producer Max Martin has influenced greatly in creating No.1 hits for this album, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
