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 68.6/100, a mean average of 66.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Altough this album exales the imaturity of a debut album, some of it's tracks call for such potential. It is a must listen for any "Ctrl" fan.
This was one of my highly sought after albums, but it didn't really deliver as I had hoped it would. That being said, still a great album in the nu-wave R&B of the likes of Drake and the Weeknd... although I honestly can't stand the Weeknd that much anymore.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
