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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.2.

No, this isn’t the petrol industrialist, nor is it the actor from Call Me By Your Name (it’s not even the baking soda of the same name). Armand Hammer is experimental rap duo billy woods and Elucid, both relative veterans in the game that sound exciting and new when put together. This album has some of the restless energy and crust of Dälek’s early work, particularly in the treatment of samples, and as there aren’t many standout hooks or refrains here, more focus is put on the way the two rappers’ individual styles effortlessly interweave.
Good album.
B+
Brilliant and unique album by Armand Hammer. The instrumentals are dark, raw, and slow. The lyrics are thought provoking and have a nice sense of humor. It won't be for everybody, but if you're looking for something unique amond the other Hip Hop albums of 2018, give Paraffin by Armand Hammer a try.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
