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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

I am a huge fan of both of these guys but it seems that expectations from my part were to high and in general the album fails to achieve what it was meant too. It is not bad but it is definetely mediocre taking to consideration what this guys could have done. Two tracks stand as proof of the failure, Ottis and Murder to excellence. If the album was at that level as a whole it would be a masterpiece, but it is not so lets just move on...

Although certainly not the crowning achievement of either's career, Throne turned out to be a solid album with some great tracks

It's a decent album, but it's carried entirely by the two personalities behind the microphone. The production is a little scattershot and pales in comparison to anything West did on MBDTF. When they're rapping about world issues there are some good lines, but when they're rapping about fame and needing eight arms to hold all their watches or whatever I just get bored. Even the guest spots are better than the actual musical content. So yeah, fun collaboration but a little disappointing when placed next to the other stuff they've done.
What else more can be said about the production genius of Kanye West? Sure, they rap mostly about having and spending gross amounts of money, but that's who they are. Not as great as their respective best efforts, but this is a collaborative one and a successful one. Some really great tracks, including the 2011/12 anthem 'Niggas in Paris'. Witnessing the Watch the Throne tour also helps increase value.

totally agree with palsdisiac, this album is awesome, the parts where it falls flat are when jay-z can't seem to keep up
