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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.4/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

Most of it is amazing, some of it makes me snore.
quite good and some nice ideas in there nonetheless
Could not stand this album and never finished it. No track stood out. Coming from a J Cole fan that appreciated him a lot more when he dropped mixtapes.
This album has an interesting concept and some pretty meaningful songs I just wish the wordplay & lyrics were stronger.

Nice album, a little uneventful but really nice easy sounds. And it's more about the story anyway.
Couldn't get through it the first time I listened, but eventually listened to the whole thing through a couple of times over. It's very boring with some incredibly lazy hooks. Not awful, but not good either.
Album is boring, no innovation, no risks, no advancement as an artist, nothing amazing, avg af, comfort zone music
Eh atleast he made most of his dedicated fans happy. So, props for that
I liked this album, nothing that will leave a profound impact on me, but nice to listen to.
Really nice album. Its not a super exciting album but is great for background music or just chilling in the afternoon. Theres some great string and piano arrangements.
Favourites: Shes mine Pt1/Pt2, Vile Mentality, Neighbours, From whom the bell tolls
