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 63.9/100, a mean average of 56.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 56.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.7.

Bem EDM, bem 2010, mas tudo bem, isso não é demérito!

Although it's genreric EDM music, that's kind of part of the fun. Really Cher's vocals do all the work. The tunes are catchy, the production's decent, and the lyrics are alright. This is probably Cher's best album in decades. I don't see what people don't like about Cher + Auto-Tune or synthing her voice. People love it when that one rapper does it. I guess the music buff recognizes problems within Cher albums, and that one thing or maybe two ruins every single aspect for the album buff and they can't look at the positives.

I admit the album is slightly plagued by generic EDM Auto-Tune, but the positives come through the rhythms and the vocals. There are a few great tracks, so it's not a bad album.

Vocals: 100. Cher's voice is perfect, but the autotune can ruin it for some people. Not me.
Production: 65. Over the top.
Lyrics: 73.
Rhythms: 80.
Diversity: 40. The first half is the farthest thing from diverse, but the second half brings more soft rock and folk.
