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 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

What a great time for the older guys like Nas, RTJ, Black Thought and Pusha T to not just be releasing merely good records, they are dropping classics. Possibly the best of the later great Nas releases.

Very loop heavy but clean production by Hit-Boy. I love the sound of this and it's under 30minutes. 9 tracks. Nas is definitely on a roll lately, and this one is my favorite.
