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 has a Bayesian average rating of 62.2/100, a mean average of 61.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.2.

@kurtco: First of all "he is already making R&B songs like The Weeknd" isn't insinuating you think he was influenced by The Weeknd, right? This was released in 2009.

The fact that you write such a positive review and then give it a 4/10 shows you let your personal judgements rule your opinions.

Solid start. He introduced his rap-singing very successfully to the world, and the world fell in love.

This album shows the evolution of Drake. He is already making R&B songs like The Weeknd and is already moving away from Rap. Thus was born the pop rap Drake which I'm actually not fan .... but it's true that he is one of the most popular rappers of this decade and is very influential on the current hip-hop.

10 years ago, Drake released "So Far Gone", album largely contributing to his rise. 10 years later, "So Far Gone" is finally available in its entirety on streaming platforms. This album shows the evolution of Drake. He is already making R&B songs like The Weeknd and is already moving away from Rap. Thus was born the pop rap Drake which I'm actually not fan .... but it's true that he is one of the most popular rappers of this decade and is very influential on the current hip-hop.
