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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.9/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

This album punched me really hard in the face. And I enjoyed it immensely.

Great debut from Death Grips, the sampling use is a particularly favourable element of this album. It's not as good as The Money Store due to some of the tracks really dragging out and coming across as pretty basic in a bad way. But overall this is still a very strong debut. The originality just radiates from every track and its so refreshing to listen to. Very raw, intense and in your face. MC Rides vocal performance shows again that he is perfect for the unique type of music Death Grips are making as well as his interesting choice of lyrics. I love the fast pace and energy in this record as well as the obvious passion and talent on display. I found myself enjoying this album (or mixtape whatever) the majority of the way through. These guys clearly just have a knack for writing innovative and highly enjoyable music. I do recommend listening to The Money Store first though.

Sounds too much like a joke for me to enjoy it. Interesting compositions though.

Death Grips did something interesting with hip-hop that still holds up, maybe even more than it did when it first came out. (Edited)
