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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.8.

One of the weakest Black Thought album in the last few years IMO
A really strong album from start to finish. I actually like this more than Cheat Codes (just barely, though). Black Thought has always been a great storyteller, but I think songs like "I Would Never," "The Weather," and "I'm Still Somehow" feature some of his best writing to date. Cheat Codes and Danger Mouse's production is without a doubt more accessible, and has all the hard-hitting features to make it stand out, but I prefer El Michels Affair's softer sound and more soulful production that really let Thought shine on this record.
I'm disappointed to say it's not as strong as Cheat Codes (how can you compare to Danger Mouse's production on that) but still fine. On par with Streams of Thought, Vol 3. Interested to see who he's going to team up with next.

The tempo changes (in Hollow Way and The Weather in particular) are magnificent, although Cheat Codes edges it by a whisker.

On par with Cheat Codes. Really loving these collabs Black Thought has been working on. Perhaps that'll be what he does during the 20s but would love to see another Roots release as well.
