Rating metrics: Help 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 81.2/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Infectiously catchy hooks throughout, but it also doesn’t compromise in its hard hitting production either. The songs really merge together fantastically well while not sounding similar at all which is incredibly difficult to do. A great album from a great duo.

This is my favourite RTJ album. Its a travesty that its ranked so low here, the album deserves every bit of praise that RTJ2 got. Hopefully, the success of RTJ4 will bring some attention to this record in hindsight.

Run the Jewels may be the most talented rap duo of the decade if not ever. This is their best album by far: political, raw, great hooks, awesome aggression. Fantastic.

Honestly their best album. It would be ranked a lot higher if they didn't literally drop it the day before Christmas.

I was completely surprised this album was nowhere near the top thousand after I became a big fan of this duo with their second LP. To me, this album is more consistent and politically charged than their second effort and I love it for that. Somehow the hype doesn’t let up and the record has a killer ending, not to mention the low point of the album (“Stay Gold” & “Don’t Get Captured”) still tops “Love Again” from RTJ 2. Overall, one of my favorite albums, rap or otherwise, for the year, and definitely better in my opinion than The Life Of Pablo (though that album is engaging in its own way.)

This album is insanely good. More tracks than RTJ2 and yet more consistent and more creative. As great as RTJ2 is, they definitely were able to top it here. Excited to see what Killer Mike & El-P do next!

Highlights: Down, Talk To Me, Legend Has It, Thieves, Thursday In The Danger Room, Report To The Shareholders/Kill Your Masters

I rarely ever like Hip Hop/Rap albums, but Run The Jewels are fucking gold!

Classy, solid set and several top notch tracks. Not quite as intense or diverting as RTJ2 though.
