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 70.6/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Can't Feel My Face is one of the catchiest tunes of the year. The rest of the album is decent but the subject matter of the songs gets repetitive real quick
Two very different singles from this record have launched The Weeknd into the American mainstream: the dark and gritty "The Hills" and the funky pop charmer "Can't Feel My Face." The artist has been known for the dark and dreary tunes than can alienate people from becoming fans, but the fun of "Can't Feel My Face" may be the light at the end of that dark tunnel.
Still, those dreary tunes flood this album and keep it from being listenable all the way through. I think more collaborations with talented artists could really lift his music and make it more appealing than his current loner DIY approach.
If he can channel more groove and charm into his music he could very well deliver some more great singles or even a solid album in the next few years. I will definitely be watching for more from this Toronto native. (Edited)
A truly fine pop album with great production, great songwriting and singing. One of the R'n'B and pop albums o 2015 that will be remembered from years to come

'Tell Your Friends' is a top ten song of the year, and 'I Can't Feel My Face' is an MJ-esque monster of a pop song. The rest is cool enough, if lacking the mystique that made his early releases so good, but after the terrible Kiss Land this was a rather pleasant surprise. Still bump those two songs mentioned above on an almost daily basis in my girlfriend's car.

Something more than average coming out of Mainstream Pop/R&B
