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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

A lot of music demands your immediate attention. It gives you all it can hoping that it will stick in your brain. “Afrique Victime” is a much more subtle album. The nimble guitar work and steady drums slowly but surely win you over track by track. The lyrics are simple but so endearingly genuine with descriptions of home and girls there. This quiet investment makes moments like the solo on the titular “Afrique Victime” stand out even more. They are extremely skilled musicians that bring it when they are ready to. I do hope they go out more often but they certainly have my attention now.

Afrique Victime is so much fun it transcends language (however if time to translate the listener discover poetic meditations on love, religion and the exploitation of and inequalities within Western Africa.) I could see why this album has been so loved the world over. Yes, Mdou's astounding electric guitar playing is a highlight but the rhythm section is hypnotic. A really solid rock album.

Really good fusion of Saharan music and rock, for me one of the best albums of 2021. Highly recommend
