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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Released as an Outkast album, it's the Boi on one disc and Andre on the other. And while Andre scored the biggest hit "hey ya!" that everyone from your grandma to your grandson loves, Boi delivers the most consistent goods throughout his disc. Favorites on disc 1 are the hyper-frenetic "ghettomusik", the soulful "the way you move", the snaking "tomb of the boom" with its bevy of guests. His flow is tough and the backing beats are pretty tight throughout. Outside of the aforementioned "hey ya!" (THE party jam), the other highlights are the sexy, near-lude "spread" and the beat-funky "roses" (with chorus "i know you like to think your sh"t don't stank, but lean a little closer, see, roses really smell like poo poo poo" and adlibbing around "crazy bitch" at the end). He evokes prince often, like on "she lives in my lap" and its finale. But a lot of songs overstay their welcome. (i'm looking at you "pink & blue" and "vibrate".) An what's with that "Dracula's wedding" song? (it's kinda bad in a kooky good way.) The ending of "prototype" with its "stank you smelly much" is juvenile but cute. i like the quick keys all over "my favorite things". Overall, my feeling is this would've been a huge album if they brought their ideas together, culled the best and put out one album of THEIR stuff on one ~15 track CD.
Speakerboxxx - 80

I feel the instrumentation is FANTASTIC... but somehow it's missing the songs if that makes any sense... I mean there's good songs on here... dunno how to say it.
Good Day, Good Sir was funny. Reminded me of Who's on First.
Songs worth coming back to:
Ghetto Musick
The Way You Move
Church
Knowing
Love Hater
Happy Valentine's Day
Spread
Hey Ya!
Roses
Behold A Lady
She's Alive
My Favorite Things
Take Off Your Cool
The Love Below holds great dominion over Speakerboxxx, but both contain pretty fantastic singles.

If this was just Speakerboxxx I would have given it at least a 75. There are some bangers there and some great guest appearances. Big Boi proves himself to be just as capable on the mic as Andre. The second half makes the album too long and isn't nearly as groundbreaking as I've heard it made out to be. Hey Ya is great but other than that it's just some fairly standard R&B with above average beats. And the skits range from cringe-worthy to extremely expendable.
