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 49.1/100, a mean average of 46.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 46.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 27.1.

“I actually didn't listen to these albums because they are blighted by terrible production and neuron-damaging filler tracks but I did a quick recap of the late-90's teen sensations: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:”

Millennium is BSB at the peak of their powers. I give them one star for their cultural impact and a star and a half for 2 or 3 actually decent songs.

Fact is, they don't write it, produce it, or play instruments.

A documentary made later in their career is hard to watch as it shows really how little talent these guys had apart from their ability to sing on pitch in their individual ranges.

At the time BSB was considered better than N Sync but time has been kinder to N Sync's music (Bye Bye Bye is an actually bad ass song) and JT's solo career has proven that there was more talent in that boy band than this one. (Edited)

This album pioneered the "industrial" boy-band sound that would become so popular around this period, but this album lacks the attitude that N Sync's later two albums would adopt. I still have to say, though, that the guitar solo in "Larger Than Life" was surprisingly good! :O

Don't be so jealous guys. They made a very good music back in the day. N Sync look like cheap trash compared to this legendary & revolutionary band

The first four tracks were great pop-hits, however their slower more sentimental songs on the second half are horrible. (Edited)
