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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Charli has labeled herself as "disney grunge", more on appearances than her sound though. The accompanying music is the big draw, of which i'd label "industrious house techno", The closest comparison i can think of is robyn. Robyn's a little more "tech-savvy" lyrically, but there really isn't a lot of difference. Charli should take that as a compliment; because like Robyn, when she nails a song, like "you're the one", she really nails it. But Charli has a ways to go yet to amass Robyn's consistency, but with a thoroughly-solid alt-dance album like this, she has a bright future.

I really do not see what's so speacial about her and why so many critics lauded her.

I’m just not seeing what is so special about this album. Sure, it has its moments here and there, there are a couple good songs on the album, but for the most part, this album is some fairly generic synthpop. Not a whole lot different from Marina And The Diamonds, for example. This album has gotten a fair bit of positivity and I’m just not seeing it. It’s not bad, but it’s not that great, it’s just mediocre. Charli XCX has a pretty good voice and the songs are, for the most part, somewhat catchy, but there was just nothing too terribly interesting about this album. The first three tracks are worth listening to and the rest of the album isn’t much to talk about, especially the track that features former-stripper-turned-rapper Brooke Candy, “Cloud Aura". Candy does not rap well, I’ll just leave it at that. Overall, a relatively disappointing album. There’s potential for some solid pop music from Charli XCX, but this isn’t it.
