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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.3.

This mixtape is pretty good I like his sample choices. Yeah good production, good flow, good project overall.
J Cole's best work IMO. Before i'm gone and farewell are his best songs of all time and some of the best of the decade.
Best hip hop album from J Cole. Before I'm gone might be his best track ever.
This is one of, if not the best J. Cole release, really lyrical, great flow, dope production.
