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 60.8/100, a mean average of 60.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.7.

“I firmly believe that if you hate Taylor Swift, you are wrong. You don't have to like her music, but be realistic. What is there to actually hate about her? Fearless is her 2nd album. She was 19 years old. She wrote or co-wrote every song on this album. People hate her songs. Why? What is there to…”

It's definitely not my thing (I'm a 54 year-old male). However, I do appreciate that she is exhibiting more talent than most of today's new music artists in any genre. That said, I prefer Jewel's "Pieces of You" which was recorded in 1995 when she was 21.

Breathe is the most underrated track, a real grower. This whole album is filled to the brim with pop delights and broken hearts. a classic

She can't sing live but sounds okay in the studio. But she can songwrite and writes good songs.

Charting its own path with a distinctive singer-songwriter, whose strength lies in her unique ability to craft memorable pop songs. The hits are very strong, although tending toward commercialization. There are also some very strong album tracks, especially "Hey Stephen" and "The Best Day." By no means a masterpiece -- the length and the sameness of the instrumentation from song to song hold it back from that -- but definitely a strong debut. 9/10! (Edited)

Great pop! Fantastic album, with lyrics for all the teen girls. And just an enjoyable sing a long with drunk friends
