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 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Great album. This is one of those records where no one track really stood out to me but I felt myself connecting with the flow of the record, and loved the beats. Also probably the best use of interludes that I have ever heard on an album. Hoping to give this more listens at some point. (Edited)
She has such a beautiful and powerful voice. My Favourite track is Cranes In The Sky (which was actually the first song of hers that i lestened).
I think this album is slightly over rated. The beats aren't that good and the whole record feels so slow and like it lacks a proper punch or edge to it. I find myself zoning out countless times with every listen I give this record. The music feels like it needs a spark of life to really give it some proper substance. Furthermore, it isn't that experimental either and doesn't really do much different to any other album I have heard in the hip hop genre except for be a bit more dull. Apart from a few outliers, most songs on here are just filler and would not be missed if they were cut. One of the most boring for me is F.U.B.U which is just so bland. However, one of the main redeeming factors of this album is the lyrics which are pretty strong. It also flows from one song to the next quite well and doesn't really break stride. Overall, this just feels so dull in my opinion and I feel like there is so much that could be done to drastically improve this record but there are still a few ideas on this record which show potential.

A very refreshing and evocative album that surprised me positively. Great!

A couple of OK beats, but mostly too slow to capture my attention.
