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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

a lush, funk-soaked, retro-soul record with shades of Prince and Sly Stone... recommended by a mate, and I've been blown away by how much I've been enjoying it. (Edited)

This is the album that Donald was building up to, it pulls inspiration from so many places, it's such a journey from start to finish
This artistic exploration is so fun to see from Childish Gambino. These songs are infectious and fun, but also give us a deeper look into himself as an artist. While it's pretty consistent and one-note with the funk elements, it's still done in a way that is easily enjoyable.
