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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Ghost Town is arguably Kanye's greatest song!

Un disco malo hasta la llegada de las dos últimas canciones. Ghost Town tiene unas melodías y samples hermosas. Me voy dando cuenta que a más antiguas son las samples que mete el Kanye, mejores le salen sus canciones. Y por otro lado está Violent Crimes, con una letra tremenda sobre un tema sensible. El disco más olvidable del Kanye que he escuchado hasta ahora. No es lo peor de lo peor, pero sí de lo más flojo de Kanye.

Annoyed by how much I like this haha
It is way too short, these 7 track albums should just be labelled as EPs. Do not want to be paying LP prices for this on vinyl.
Can't stop listening to "I Thought About Killing You". Some parts of the album annoy me but other than that it is pretty solid.

"Yikes" and "Ghost Town" are cool songs. The other songs are ok, but they seem kinda random. Nothing I would hear again.

Short and a bit lacking in some areas, also not as innovative as his other albums.
nonetheless still a good album with some top tier songs like Ghost Town and Yikes

Em meio ao turbilhão criativo e produtivo de Kanye o álbum apresenta alguns pontos repetitivos.

Out of all of 2018's Kanye's producted albums this is really the only one I found myself hugging into. As the fella down of me said, I think "ye" hit me way more harder than "KID SEE GHOSTS", wich is strange, knowing that Ye is a stripped down hip-hop album, with almost nothing really experimental or diferent about it, and KSG is all gourgeous and complicated, I still think "ye" is way, way more truer.

I don't know, there is just this sincerity to It that I really like from an artist. The First track makes what I'm saying really clear but, It isn't the only part.

"Ghost Town" might very well be my favorite track of him, the beginning of It is amazing, but the end is just perfect.

I do believe this album is at least his best work since MBDTF, and personally I like It even better.

Not in the majority at all here but I think this puts KSG to shame. Ye brings the same psychotic energy of Yeezus and MBDTF but without monumental instrumentation. Whether it was intentional or not, we see Kanye as less of a mythical figure, and more as a normal person. I just wish it was longer.

Pretty underrated album. A brave look into a mentally ill mind that creates some of Kanye's most mature music to date
