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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.0/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

It's great how rappers can rap over anything these days; no more need being restricted to boom bap drum loops. Atrocity Exhibition might be the best demonstration of this I've heard yet (Edited)

I'm only one listen in but this is easily Danny's best. I love XXX but there are a few duds on that album, this is all killer no filler. His flow is as crazy as always and on tracks like Ain't It Funny he's spitting faster than I've ever heard him. His rhymes are as interesting and clever as ever, I love the Coltrane/Spokane rhyme though I forget what song it's on. Best of all is the frenzied vibe - this really is what I'd picture a Joy Division rap album to sound like. I fully expect to raise my rating to 100 eventually, Danny somehow exceeded even my expectations. AOTY at this point. (Edited)

I have to admit I didn’t know too much of Danny Brown’s work before this album. Now I’m wondering why. I can’t even describe what I like about Atrocity Exhibition, it’s just so busy and loud and colourful. I haven’t felt this level of confused exhilaration since I first listened to Spank Rock.
Best track: Ain’t It Funny. What the hell is going on here? (Edited)

All of the reviews for this album are very positive. I on the other hand disliked this album very much. It really did live up to its name, atrocious. Not the Danny Brown I know and love. XXX and Old were both better and more enjoyable than this in my opinion. Not sure what all the hype is about. Some of the songs are pretty much unbearable and I know his voice can rub people the wrong way, but I usually like DB but this one I couldn't get into. I gave it a 70 which isn't a terrible rating by my standards I just really dont think its one of the best albums of 2016.
Nevertheless, my favorite songs from the album are Really Doe, When It Rain, & Pneumonia (Edited)
