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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

A fine mix of hip hop, electronica, and afro-beat. 9/10! (Edited)
Incredible. Imagine TV On The Radio having fun again. Much more fun.

Heard Toy in a commercial and now I want everything these guys have made. Really cool plus they've worked with Massive Attack so that's awesome.

Dabbles in the experimental and pushes the genre to deliver a consistent and engaging alternative hip-hop album. Cocoa Sugar is pareto-efficient in it structure, and really hits high when it has its moments, namely on the brilliant lead single In My View and on the frantic, pulsing Toy. The Afro-beat influences are also a real nice touch that a good dose of complexity to the record.
Good album, doesn't seem to hold as much weight as their last effort though. I do enjoy a lot of the weirder cuts on the album though.
Best Track: Holy Ghost
