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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

Quelle Chris - Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often is an album that invites you to explore it, coming with a promising title and a promising album cover. The production follows clearly an experimental direction. In songs like Dumb for Brains he goes full experimental, while in songs like Learn to Love Hate he presents us a typical boom bap tune with a twist. There are many great moments, but there were cases where the idea seemed better than its actual execution, for example Calm Before The Storm was anything but calm. In fact, it made me anxious. The biggest problem is that at several points it felt it was dragging without being able to justify its length (for example Buddies, BS Vibes, I'm That Ni#%a, all of them good if not great nonetheless). This leads the album to being significantly longer than it should. Funnily enough, the two shortest track work more than fine considering their duration. The thirty second intro does make a point, as it is a warning sign it's gonna get messy really soon. The other thirty second track, Encore, is equally insane. Another complaint would be that some songs (e.g. Fascinating Grass) sounded a bit empty, like they were underproduced. Not a fan of his rapping. I usually enjoy this laid-back style, but here it wasn't " I know I'm cool and I know I can afford to take it slow, rather "I 'm so tired I need to sleep". I wonder if he would sound better in a more conventional environment. BS Vibes was one of the few instances where I thought he was up to the task, though his best performance has to be the highly energetic The Dreamer in the Den of Wolves. The guests -there were many of them-were enjoyable for the most part, Cavalier being my favorite and Jean Grae a close second. His lyrics are in my opinion the best part of the album. Despite being abstract they manage to convey the message. The forever alone Buddies ("Might go on vacation Just me and my nigga My nigga is me Myself and I Who said I need you? Oh dummy, they lyin’ I’m doin’ just fine My cloud is on nine I take myself out for drinks, myself and I lit Might fuck the same chick"), the introspective Popeye ("So, I had to bite the bullet, the casing, the trigger My nigga said, “Sun never felt so, blah; sleep never felt so, yawn” Cleon could’ve been that dude, no one remembers though Posse moved on? Possibly here (yeah), possibly long gone"), the painfully honest In Case I Lose Myself in the Crowd ("Lightin’ like, velvet – it felt right Too many nights hell-bent – motel life That old scent of unknown It’s somethin’ how my code-switches Somethin’ ‘bout my show scored different, my food thought heavy Fork lifted, cliché, cat-callin’ life a bitch, to address Form-fitted, winter storm, inner core But hear me comin’ at the door, intercom Sinners can’t sing along Pentecost, they make no sense How sweet the cold, even with the hoes it feel complete") and the outright depressive Birthdaze ("Feels like my birthday today, and those are the worst days If it's a race for the end, then why come in first place? I've seen a fork in the road, I chose the third way I'll suckie duckie quack quack, sun shading dark rays") uncover parts of his state of mind. On the other hand, I'm That Ni#%a is an equally impressive yet so humorous showcase of his songwriting skills ("I got the froq and dog with the solid gold bone Got a platinum card collection it look like upper deck We burnin' down so much it's fuckin' up the ozone Copped a bugatti for the driveway I ain't touch it yet Gordon Ramsey came over cooked up a nigga a festival He’s like Q you that nigga I'm like yo get off my testicles Used to dream that one day I'd hook up with TLC (TLC) So I creep with DL freaks who need TLC Olympic pool Michael Phelps wanna train in (train in) I said it's cool bring through a zip of that rainman"). Some highlights include the trippy vocals of Popeye, the fire-breathing horns of The Dreamer in the Den of Wolves and the entrancing The Prestige.
To sum it up, huge potential but some flaws that can't be ignored.
A year after his last album, the rapper from Detroit Quelle Chris returns for a new opus still as creative. "Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often" is the title of the new project of Quelle Chris. The rapper turns to a style quite different from his previous albums by adopting a very nonchalant flow on light and aerial productions. Through an album both tinged with derision, irony but also lived, we feel that the Detroit rapper gradually reveals his personality, that of a lunatic human. For the production, most of the beats were done by Quelle Chris himself, but he called Alchemist, MNDSGN or Iman Omari to support him. With "Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often", Chris is coming to assert his status of a rising rapper and comes to show his creativity once again. Another good release by Mello Music Group.
8/10
Best track: "Popeye (feat. I, Ced & Mndsgn)"
A little long, but not a bad cut in sight. Just a great lo-fi hip hop record.
