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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.4.

Enjoyable style but doesn't really vary much. 'Jus' a Rascal' is a good earworm song. (Edited)

@junodog4 Grime is not hip hop. Sure, its rapping but grime formed from different roots. It grew from reggae, jungle, UK 2step garage/electronica, rave, dancehall, drum n base, dubstep etc. Hip hop formed in the US and while grime may have borrowed from hip hop along the way it seems to have grown out of the UK underground scene from sources that were not of a hip hop or rapping influence.

Pioneering album in the grime genre. Unfortunately the quality of Dizzee's albums seem to go down the more he makes music, but this acclaimed, mercury-prize winning album is a landmark record full of catchy & explosive tunes with a somewhat futuristic production.
