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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

I love "Living in the City." Reminiscent of Lou Reed.

Alynda Segarra AKA Hurry For The Riff Raff has released a really interesting album number 6 in "The Navigator" .

What isn't immediately apparent but is fact is this album is actually a quasi-concept album based on a fictional character named Navita Milagros Negron living in some sort of dystopian world (source The Music February 2018) . Lyrically its strongly political and was ahead of it time with its Anti-Trump sentiment prior to Trumps election win in 2017

I followed the lead of comments below and had several listens and can confirm this album is indeed a grower . Track 11 'Pa'lante' is a stand out best moment , I wouldn't go so far as to declare it one of the best songs ever as per a previous comment buts its a fine piece

First listen- this is decent, but maybe not a competitor.
Second listen- this is really good, Pa'lante is one of the year's best songs.
Third and fourth listens- The whole album's pretty good- top 50 of the year.
Fifth and sixth listens- This is one of the five best albums of the year, and the last two songs can compete with the last two songs on any album I've ever heard.

Takes a few tracks to get going, but when it does, The Navigator is a moving, enrapturing love letter. Gets better with multiple listens.

So far listened to the album only two times, so maybe the rating will change but I am sure only for the better. Think I will love this album
