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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Really getting into this album. Really good fusion of jazz, soul, R&B and rap. Also, an amazing story.

A great album. I love the story of the album, there are no weak tracks, it's wonderfully diverse - it's mostly soul with a hint of rap-rock involved too. My favourites are Traded in My Cigarettes and Stay Too Long but honestly all of the tracks are good. Highly recommend and surprised it's not more widely known/acclaimed.
