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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Aesop is probably the most technical rhymers ever in hip hop. That remains true here while giving the songs a more direct meaning and more accessible production.
I'm not much of a hip-hop fan, but this album had me straight up addicted for a long time. I'd listened to aseop in highschool during the "none shall pass" era, but stopped for years. When I looked him up and found this newest album I was blown away by how someone I thought had perfected his craft had improved so vastly. Every day I'd listen to it start to finish until I knew every lyric to my favorite tracks, not that I'd claim to understand the meaning behind every bar. Still my favorite in his catalog. Although Skelethon and Malibu Ken have some bangers, there's not a single skip on this track list. That's impossible.
This album really introduced me to the dept of Aesop Rock's lyrics as I spent a good part of 2017's summer trying to understand this album's lyrics. Incredibly addictive album.
I spent all summer trying to understand every lines from this album and there is still a lot that I have to understand, great album from one of the most creative hip hop artist.
Absolute classic, can't believe this is so low on the 2016 chart. His voice, flow, lyrics, concepts, beats! Way too good, the fact that Aesop can put out what might be his best album yet this late shows his staying power.
