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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

I feel that some of these tracks reek early 90's as well as having a song like Shake, which was easily the worst song on the album. However songs like Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, Paper Doll, Reality Used to Be a Friend of Mine,A Watchers Point of View, Even After I Die and On A Clear Day were some god tier hip hop tracks.

From the intro through hit "set adrift on memory bliss", prince be's take on the universe is as groovy as it is impenetrable. They probably would've dominated pop radio at the time if they weren't so d@mn strange. Unfortunately, the catchiness fades into repetition in the last third of the album.
Set Adrift On Memory Bliss is an amazing song, one of the few hip-hop songs that made me a bit teary eyed. This album has many awesome catchy as hell moments. This is one of the most damn-fine hip-hop albums I have ever heard.
Dreamy and lyrical. Definitely unlike anything else out there. For the most part, a solid record all the way through.
