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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Second half of the album not as strong as the first half. But a good album all the same. (Edited)

I bought this album when it first came out in 2014 but it wasn't until 7 years later in the summer of 2021, that I listened to it again and realised just how incredible an album it is. It's her strongest album in my opinion.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
This is probably the strongest 80 there is, considering the album took a little downhill on the 2nd half. Really good tho.
Never thought Lana could be so emotional this way. "Cruel World", "Shades of Cool" and "West Coast" are really powerful tracks. Best album of her for sure. (Edited)
Solid album, though it fades towards the end. She still has that Billie Holiday sound in a lot of her songs.
Best tracks: Shades of Cool, Brooklyn Baby, Cruel World (Edited)

I get a bit sad listening to her music, because - well, in the first place because of her music of course, but also because I notice I will never feel the full extent of her music, because her music is mostly made for and from the perspective of women. I'll never experience putting up her music in my teens and just vibe hard to it. And at the same time I'm glad something like this can exist in our time: music that is women's own. (Edited)

The hip hop production is lost or unrecognizable, but she doesn't need it. What's left is very good and one-of-a-kind baroque pop.

This is still one of my favorite records to listen to in the summertime. Slow, sexy, beautiful. (Edited)
