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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

Among the best Hip Hop albums ever made. Criminally underrated. IMO, a stronger and more consistent (though not as commercial) response to "The Blueprint." "Ether," "One Mic," and "Rule" are all perfect songs. Very socially conscious and very consistent--I think there's only two filler songs. This album is a classic, maybe even a borderline masterpiece. It is somewhere around a 9.8, but since BEA doesn't offer that option, I give it a perfect 10/10! (Edited)

After the sameness of the last three (two?) follow-ups to Illmatic, this one comes as a welcome surprise. I might not agree with his hyper-individualistic and populist rhetoric, but just like the pigeon on his cover he's here in the city and doesn't need my approval, and maybe he would act more like a dove if we didn't see a pigeon when we look at him.

Nas spends a good portion of this album claiming he hasn't fallen off since Illmatic, and by the end I'm not sure if he's trying to convince the listener or himself.
Ether - Best diss song ever!! One of Nas 3 good albums (Illmatic & It Was Written) (Edited)
Good album. One of the first rap albums I bought. Could do without Smokin', it's the only weak track.
