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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.9/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Just as good as their debut, might be better.

This is the first Tribe album to sound complacent and content with staying in one place. There are some excellent songs, though.

dissonant yet smooth.... perfect

Sadly, what was once a groundbreaking group has been left behind. Hip-hop grew, thanks in large part to TCQ's contributions, but they stayed the same. Decent album, but unremarkable.
