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 73.2/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

For me, an improvement on the debut. A very well produced follow up. His schtick is fairly unique. Coming over as a nice guy on tracks of everyday life. No guns, bitches or gang shite. More real than the rappers who are keeping it real. For the 99% that is. Not cool I guess. I feel slight influences from Stormzy and Michael Kiwanuka. Maybe not, I'm old, what do I know? Maybe he's courting the oldies by referencing Ghostface and Roots Manuva. I look forward to seeing a gig after this virus shit with a nice cone.
