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 78.3/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Slightly underrated on this site, quite overrated by Rolling Stone and Apple Music. (Edited)

I think as a hip-hop and soul album it is exceptional. The few “rap” tracks though are the lowest. I appreciate the Christian themes throughout, and I do think it’s a great album. RS Mag definitely overrates it, but then again, it is RS. (Edited)

It's a good album but Rolling Stone considered this album the best ever...it's simply ridiculous, I even think a Taylor Swift album was in the Top 10 or 20.
The guy who ordered this list to be published cannot be a serious person. (Edited)
