Rating metrics: Help 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 78.0/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

A strong album with very original rhymes and nice sampling. The only real weakness of the album is that it is a little too similar from track to track. 9/10!

I heard it 12 times in a row now and still don't get it. Amazing arrangements, fabulous wordplay and swell sound, but not for me. Solid, but a little bit boring. Did I mention short. I liked that part.

Too far ahead of it’s time. This will be one of the most influential rap albums of all time one day.

Álbum de recorte de sons, mas de imensa criatividade! Parece uma coletânea de samples para o rap que vier a partir daqui.

The pacing is very off for this album and the 24 minutes of content we receive isn't good enough to be a full record. There are the start of some great beats on here but none that are fully realised or achieve the potential that they have. The rapping style is pretty generic and quite dull when delivering the lyrics. It is quite slow and boring and for such a short album that is worrying. The lyrics are interesting in places and probably the peak of the album. It doesn't flow very well and is a disjointed set of songs. Overall, I was very disappointed with this release and was expecting more.

Great tracks. Pacing is very strange, but fits a mixtape more than an LP. Wish there was more.

Pretty genius and also a bit heartbreaking. He's hurting and he's baring his soul for us.

As an artistic statement its very admirable and a testament to Earl's ability to be chameleonic, however, it's mostly a disappointment for me (who loves Earl's work)because even though the thematic content is profound, I personally don't find the music on the LP to have much replay value.
