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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Fair play Wiley, perhaps you do deserve the "godfather of grime" nickname after all. "Bring Them All / Holy Grime" is one of the year's best tracks. (Edited)
A solid album filled with confidence and humour. It's sad that it's supposedly Wiley's final album, but if it is, he went out on an extremely high note. I just hope this work of art, probably the pinnacle of the grime genre this decade, receives the attention it rightfully deserves. All hail the godfather. (Edited)
