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 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 18.1.

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!

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.

Good album. One of the first rap albums I bought. Could do without Smokin', it's the only weak track.

this album removed any and all doubts that nas isnt far superior to jay-z. nas was on the brink of rap purgatory until this album just blew peoples heads off. "one mic" is one of the greatest rap songs of all time. rewind is a crazy display of his raw writing skill while "rule" and "what goes around" contain some potent messages.
