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 72.3/100, a mean average of 67.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

Some decent tracks. Others had potential but suffer from weak moments. Not a fan of Kanye's part... Let's say after "Be" this is disappointing, but not terrible. It's got soul, and maybe even more pop appeal than any of his other records before this.

B: an admirable effort that aficionados of the style or artist will probably find quite listenable.

"The People", "So Far to Go", "U, Black Maybe"

Common is starting to benefit from Kanye's production. While it's funkier and catchier, his rhymes are losing their weight. It's mixed - in one way better, in another not so much.
