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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

One of the few recent albums that genuinly are or come close to a masterpiece. The atmospheric experimentalish beats, the song structures, the emtoions, everything works perfectly.

A tight and compact release that excels due to its short nature. The 23 minute run time flies by in no time and we are treated to some incredible songs in that short time period. The combination of Kid Cudi and Kanye West goes together perfectly and makes me wish for more works like this. The record is so smooth flowing and that is all down to the production which is stellar on this release. That is what makes this album work so well as they layer the music so effectively and it feels like a passion project which shines through and makes the music even better as we can feel they care about the music they are creating. Furthermore, I think the Louis Prima sample is a stroke of genius and is used so effectively on that track. That alongside with Reborn, Kids See Ghosts, Fire and Feel The Love are all phenomenal songs. However, I do find Freeee(Ghost Town Pt. 2) to be a a little weaker than the other tracks but they are still great. Overall, an album that is so easy to pick up and play and it has so much quality for people to keep coming back to.

It’s a tight record, with very little filler. A bit of whimsy on the musical tracks, almost reminiscent of Yellow Submarine in spots.

With the limited number of songs and all the guest appearances, this album feels like a group of friends putting tracks down for fun as a weekend project, except everyone’s exceptionally talented.

Una super producción de dos artistas muy renombrados. Qué gran dupla hacen Kid Cudi y Kanye. Buenos samples, sobre todo el de Louis Prima en 4th Dimension. Canciones favoritas: 4th Dimension, Feel the Love y Reborn. De lo mejorcito de la década pasada.

The album is ok, there are 4 solid tracks (Feel the love, Fire, Freeee, Kids see Ghosts). Kanye and Kid Cudi made a good collaboration. But I don't understand the hype that it is on second place 2018.

Melon gave it a well deserved 10. This album is so short and perfect. If it was any longer it wouldn't be as good
