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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

An excellent album. "Sing for the Moment" is the best song, but there are many hits and many strong, memorable album tracks. 9.5/10! (Edited)

Not the most loved rap record, but filled with so many amazing tracks, it's basically a greatest hits album.

it's a decent 2000s hip hop classic. Great tracks, shitty Eminem worthy skits, some lesser tracks but not necessarily skippable either. It's just a decent rap album that sold a hell of a lot.
My top tracks: Soldier, Sing For the Moment & White America

The last really cohesive album Eminem released, altough I love some of his later tracks, I never went on to like his next albums. Great artist tho, and this album is a gem.

Although I'm not a fan of Eminem post 'Encore' this album is actually really good, the production is great and of course so is his flow. I may have a biased opinion though as I grew up with early Eminem.
