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 73.1/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

This album gets unfairly overlooked on account of it not being 36 Chambers. An extremely memorable selection of songs, with every rapper involved bringing their best to show. Deserves more love.

Gravel Pit makes this album. Beyond that, this is their most solid work as a group since the 36 Chambers.
