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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

Revisiting this in full for the first time in years, I like this a lot, but I just wish it coalesced better and that the songs really popped more in the middle. But on the whole, I love how stylistically varied it is, and Ilove how raw and angry the songs are here. The last three songs are as great a three-song run as any album has had. Not my favorite Bey, but strong. (Edited)

Never thought I'd like Beyonce but here we are. Top 10 of 2016 easily. Her quality of music skyrocketed. Also recommend watching the movie that goes along with it, it makes the album that much better. (Edited)

A very solid album overall, I love the use of multiple genres throughout the listen, absolutely creative in its own way (Edited)
