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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2002 Grammys. the winner was the soundtrack album for O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Edited)
This album is absolutely incredible. The fusion of so many different styles, the huge hooks, the virtuoso rapping, the singing, the interludes, the production are at the highest levels of any Hip Hop album I've heard. The insights and originality of the lyrics and delivery fuse with a nice handful of megahits that play as well today as when I heard them when they first came out.
This is one of the finest Hip Hop albums ever made. The only thing that keeps it from a perfect 10 is that it is about 4 tracks too long, maybe 10-15 minutes. The actual rating would be a 9.7/10, but BEA doesn't allow that rating, so 9.5/10! (Edited)
There are some huge songs on here which stand out as the clear peaks of this record with everything else being below this standard. Despite this, no songs on here are mediocre and most of them are pretty good leading to quite a consistent listen. They just seem to have this ability to be able to create infectious music that feels complex but also exciting and full of energy. While it may not completely blow me away when I listen to it, I always know that I am going to have a good time with this release and this makes it worth revisiting frequently. However, I am not a huge fan of the interludes and they feel like they could be cut to reduce a record that is already elongated. Overall, an enjoyable experience that has a lot of quality and impressed me with how infectious it is.
Ms Jackson is one of the best hip-hop/rap songs ever in my opinion. I also like Spaghetti Junction and a couple of the others are okay, but overall it's a step down from Aquemini. Too many interludes for my liking too. (Edited)
