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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

I discovered this record by going through the most recent Rolling Stone Top 500 albums list and it was one of my more pleasant surprises in a while.
El Mal Querer is a really successfully ambitious record. The best moments on these tracks mirror the album’s glowing, shimmering cover.
A consistently solid and engaging project with a run-time that makes it breeze by while still being able to deliver a narrative both musically and lyrically.
Original mezcla de pop-rap-flamenco sobre la base de relaciones amorosas tóxicas.
Original pop-rap-flamenco mix over toxic love relationships.

Good concept, but only a few of these tracks live up to the flamenco pop aspirations of the idea.

Fav. Tracks: Malamente (Cap. I: Augurio), Pienso en tu mirá (Cap. III: Celos), Reniego (Cap. V: Lamento), Bagdad (Cap. VII: Liturgia), Di mi nombre (Cap. VIII: Éxtasis).
If this was more well known, it would be top 10 in 2018, easily. Rosalía struck gold with this flamenco-trap/pop style and the way it allowed her to bring a beautiful, traditional story into the modern world of synths and industrial sounds.

Subversiva nas letras e na música! Renovação ao velho (e sempre bom) flamenco!

Second half of the album is Top 1 2018.

This album will (or at least should) mark a before and after in Spanish music.
