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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

I do not get the hate toward Iridescence. This, to me, is Brockhampton’s finest work to date, and is also the best album of 2018, which I found to be one of the best years for music of the decade.
There is a overwhelming feeling of unfilled potential here, there is a lot o tracks that could have been classics, but somewhere in the middle way through they lose their grip.
Feels like It was done way more divided as a group as less focused than their SATURATION trilogy. It kind of worries me, I don't want them to break-up.
A very good album with a fantastic sound that gets better as it goes (as shown in the track ratings above). Given this three listens and can't pull a lot of the tracks apart from one another in spots, but perhaps it will reveal even more of itself on future listens.
I honestly don't now how to start this off, but I'll try anyways. Iridescence is really good, and I friggin love Brockhampton, but I do have some gripes with this album. I don't feel like the guys played off each other as well as the Saturation trilogy. For example, in 'Boogie', Matt Champion's verse is great on its own, and then Joba's verse is great on its own. Although, Matt Champion makes the build up fantastic for Joba's verse, cause at least to me, it feels like a build up. It still has some moments like that, but not nearly as much. I love 'Weight', 'J'ouvert', 'Honey', 'Tonya', 'District', 'New Orleans', and most of the rest are great too. It feels like a more mature album, and it feels different compared to their earlier works, but in a fresh and unique kind of way. And I also really like that Bear Face is more prominent on this, and he does a great job. It feels like it has a lot of focus, but it doesn't at the same time, and I rarely say that for an album. These guys are so talented, fun, and interesting, and it still shows on this. While I like it more than Saturation I, I do honestly prefer Saturation 2 and 3. Mainly cause (like previously mentioned), I think they played off each other a lot better, and both albums felt like they had more more stand out tracks (not the two albums combined though). This is very long and I'm new to this website so I'm sorry for this being dang long, also Ameer is gone, gosh darn it.

A pretty strong album though I feel like some of the album could use some more depth. There are songs with amazing halves and just decent halves. On the other hand, the voice manipulation is fantastic and Joba really shines at points.
Favorite song: District
