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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.9/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

Fav. Tracks: Bring The Noise, Rebel Without a Pause.
One of the great hip hop albums, if not the great one. I love Griff's easy rap style, and the political lyrics are much more engaging and easier to listen to than the mysogynistic NWA albums.
Favorite Tracks:Bring The Noise, Don't Believe The Hype, Louder Than A Bomb, Night Of The Living Baseheads, Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos, Rebel Without A Pause
One of the best hip hop albums I've ever heard.
Favorites: Bring The Noise, Terminator X To The Edge Of Panic, She Watch Channel Zero?!
Very good album.

best album of 1988 by far.
The best hip hop album of 1988, the 80s and maybe even of all time. The production is a swirling tapestry of samples and noise that serves as a lunching pad for chuck d's angry rap rants... exhilarating record even by todays standards.

Best example of ‘80s hip hop. The aggressive vocal style comes especially to its right, now it’s not just about partying, but it (also) encompasses political subjects. And the sharp contrast between Flava Flav and Chuck D renders a comedic effect which is so essential to hip hop.
The beats have - no doubt - had an enormous effect on electronic music of the ‘90s. An early example of a drum ‘n’ bass beat can be heard on “Bring the Noise” - which was supposedly made by accident -, and they even rap over it. The aggressive noises that Terminator X makes often remind me of The Chemical Brothers or Aphex Twin.
One of the most important hip hop album of all time. Chuck D was revolutionnary. Black Steel in the hour of chaos is a great display of Chuck's storytelling.
