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 71.6/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Pop/hip-hop. Buffalo Stance is a tune and a half. Thought it might be a one-hit wonder of an album but the rest of the tracks are also decent. Second favourite track is the final track, So Here I Come.

Balancing between dance pop and hip hop. Apparantly she's said that she thinks of herself more to be a singer that occasionally raps. I agree.

A great pop album featuring classic songs such as, buffalo stance, manchild, and, kisses on the wind. Excellent.
