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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.2/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Release an album after the brilliant "Konnichiwa" (2016), was not a remarkable success for the British veteran Skepta. "Ignorance Is Bliss", his fifth album, is therefore much more shy in terms of production, more personal but more basic too. The lyrics are as intelligent and witty as the rest of his discography. It's a bit of Skepta's landing album. His prosody is still dreadfully accurate, but this time it's about the productions, without reflecting the dismal grooves coming out of the UK drill scene. Skepta is inspired by the American trap and R&B scene and it's not always for the best.
