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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

A hip hop classic, not the best record of all time but an enjoyable play. Good to work out to and release some anger. Notable tracks: Heavenly Divine, Retaliation, I Against I.
one of the best rap albums ever
Violent By Design is to me, one of the greatest Hip-Hop releases of the 90's. It marks an interesting time for the group as it shows the transition period from abstract, obscure and almost unearthly lyrical content to grimy, hardcore death rap. Vinnie's voice gets a little more graveled and rough (especially noticeable on the track Genghis Khan) which was nonexistent on the group's debut album. Jus Allah also crafts some of the most gruesome and intelligent verses of his career, and Stoupe is at his prime, flipping samples that are not overpowering and bass filled, but still completely chilling and angry. You can tell this album was inspired by some heavy metal groups like Black Sabbath and Slayer (especially because of the borrowed song titles) and it works perfectly with the image of violence this album intends to display. Although not as mystical or psychedelic as The Psycho-Social LP, Jedi Mind Tricks still provide some interesting lyricism and obscure metaphors with a new angry and murderous delivery from beginning to end.
