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 is rated in the top 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.4.

Not her best but not her worst, I just don't rate Music as highly as the previous albums Ray Of Light, Erotica, Bedtime Stories or Like a Prayer. Confessions is her best album of the 2000's. Best tracks for me are Music, Amazing and Don't Tell Me.
This is a non-stop, if I listen to a track of it I listen them all. Each one is so well crafted, the productions are flawless, her vocals are beautiful, the dance euphoria of the first 3 are insane and Music has my favourites Madonna's compositions. I love how she moves throught such diferent styles in between the tracks. Most experimental and thrilling Madonna's.

Great pop/dance-pop/electronica album. Best 10 songs average is 92,5/100 and the album can get great 95/100. Great - by including the international bonus-track "American pie". Ok so, best and full scoring song for me is "Gone", followed by "Music" and "American pie" 95/100 and next "Impressive instant", "Don't tell" and "Paradise..." 90/100. All other songs good 80-85/100.

She's starting to slide... This is listenable, but you feel somewhat awkward for her.

Kinda wish it was more conceptually disciplined, especially when the first few tracks are less acoustic guitar-driven and just beefy dance songs. That said, I like this as a comedown from Ray of Light, which is such a gargantuan record. Plus, it has some killer highlights.
