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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

After the success of Bastard, Tyler, The Creator introduces the next heavy-hitter out of Odd Future.
"Trust me he can rap."
EARL is an onslaught of immaculate rhymes of dark and macabre subject matter delivered with the playful energy of a 15/16 year old.
muy bien
Under appreciated in its time, one of the best rap albums of my generation

Totally agree with Fox John. Maybe not this exact album, but this guy is one of the most talented rappers I've listened to today. Damn

For some reason this hit hard...I'm impressed. Considering it's one of the shortest 'albums' I think I've ever heard, the length seemed oddly appropriate. Wish I had listened to this 2 years ago when it came out. My mistake.
this will be a classic in 10 years, you can quote me
