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 68.8/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

An interesting experiment, like the last track.
Opinions differ on this album and it is discussed controversial. Some love it and some hate it. I'm one of those who love it. Rather LoFi, maybe even demo-like, as chart and mainstream suitable. I like the sound and I love the feelings which are transmitted. I like it very much.
Tracks 4-8 is a fantastic run
3.15.20 is probably Gambino's most experimental album as well as his most scattered brained. The album jumps between funk, electronic, and ambient to mixed effect. I like "Algorhythm" for its crunchy synths and sense of dread. On the other hand, "32.22" is slapped with so much voice coder that it devolves into almost a unintelligible nasheed. I think i like the idea of the album more than the album in truth.
I haven't really enjoyed anything too much previously from Childish Gambino, but this is a great release, with lots of fun, groovy tracks. Feels very inspired by Prince's "Sign o the Times", which is awesome. I'm not sure it's the type of album where you are going through the whole thing and paying attention to every moment, but where you skip around and listen to the tunes that float your fancy.
The more I've sat with this album, the more I have come to not only enjoy it but deeply respect it. The digger you deep, the more significant and profound Donald Glover's work gets. I'll admit that even as a big fan of his work, this album did not land with me upon my first listen. But the more I've concentrated on it and analyzed the lyrics, the more I feel this is one of the finest albums of the year so far. His exploration of self-love and existentialism in a world full of violence, hate, and destruction is resonant, particularly with how the lyrics are often disguised in club-like dance pieces. The juxtaposition of the styles are rich, truly. His transitions are excessive, but they tie the tracks together very well and do provide additional meaning to the tracks. If you couldn't get into the album, I implore you to give it another chance.
Creative and engaging. A step in the direction of the experimental when compared to his last release. There are a lot of excellent moments on this album. I love the first half and, while I'm not a proponent of releasing singles ahead of albums, I like that "Feels Like Summer" is getting some shine as I feel it is the most overlooked of Gambino's releases since Awaken, My Love!. The mix can be a little obnoxious at times and a few of the outros are unnecessary, in my opinion.
I know Fantano went off on the production. But honestly? That's my favorite part. It's very purposeful in its distant, breezy quality, and I can dig it being as effective as it is. That said, so many tracks on this lengthy record feel like half-finished ideas. It's like Glover wants to be Frank Ocean or Daniel Caesar, but instead of introspective and atmospheric, it just feels like stoner R&B--if you can even classify that as a thing. Maybe it's meant to feel open and free--which, sure--but that's pretty much the whole thing, save for some subtle variations here and there.
Not bad, by any means. Incredibly easy on the ears, and not without a few highlights. But it's a little too long and homogenous.
Got a few tracks in and stopped - not my cup of tea
It's unfair that one person has so much talent.
