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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Skyscraper by David Lee Roth, this one is a pleasant surprise! I picked the cd up for 25 cents from a local comic book/music shop. They're trying to liquidate all of their cds. This is probably the best 25 cents I've ever spent! The wonderful guitar work of Steve Vai makes this one special. Dave's…

Year of the Snitch is probably the least aggressive Death Grips release thus far (especially compared to their previous release, Bottomless Pit), which is to say it's like an angry old man rather than a hormonal anarchist. Still more aggressive than the average person is willing to put up with. But this album works nicely within the confines of its somewhat brief 37 minutes. Lots of highlights; Death Grips Is Online, Black Paint, Linda's In Custody, Hahaha, Streaky, Dilemma, The Fear, Disappointed. Little Richard is pretty out there, even for Death Grips, but it's still fine. Overall, Year of the Snitch is a career highlight for Death Grips.

Another great Death Grips release and even one of their best in my opinion. A lot of the songs individually don't stand out that much, but in the context of the album work great and the album flows really well. It is also some of their more experimental works with great production and interesting sounds. Once you get used to it, it's an amazing listen.

Solid, consistent album. Little Richard is a low point I think but Black Paint, Ha Ha Ha and The Fear are awesome. Might be the best of the year so far.

Interesting production, and I really enjoyed 'Black Paint' and 'Dilemma', but the album as a whole didn't catch me so much...
