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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.9.

Sean Price - Monkey Barz is an album that in all likelihood won't be someone's first exposure to Sean Price. He's been involved in so many projects you must have heard him somewhere. Not an expert on his discography - a long way from it to be honest - but as far as I can remember his other stuff, this one has a strong case to be his best. Its sound isn't that groundbreaking, but there is enough variety to keep it going and that's obvious right off the bat. The opening track, Peep My Words, comes with a chill, relaxing beat and a corresponding delivery. The next track, One Two Ya’ll, already provides a change of pace following a more up tempo approach accompanied by more energetic rapping. This goes on throught the whole album. The lyrics were my biggest issue and what stopped me from connecting with this even further, not my taste at all. Can't say I really got into his humor, many times it just passed me by. Also, there were some instances where I got the impression his mouth is a bit too dirty without it being necessary, but that's a relatively minor complaint - and a weird one for any hip hop album, I know. Plus, the whole "Sean P" concept was rather pointless, if not outright annoying. There was no need of informing us again and again who he is, we got it. In terms of standout moments, it has to be the self titled track ("A-yo we Mighty Joe Young-ing it, thugging it Straight from the jungle my brother, my niggas Banana Republic-ing Rang-a-tang slang, Chewbacca not ragga Two socks fulla rocks, plus the cops watch us") and it's not even close, loved this one.
