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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Finally broke the top 2000! This thing really deserves more attention. Easily should be in the top 500 at least. (Edited)
Love this album so much. One of the best hip hop of the 2000's and one of the most overlooked albums of this decade. (Edited)
