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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Holy shit! I think this might be the best Outkast record. And of course it has to be there debut. Now I do love the hell out of Atliens as well as Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. But this is something else. Putting ATL on the map as well as feeling like a movie where the outsiders ventured in Atlanta.

Maybe Outkast's best. Definitely their funkiest, featuring the amazing tracks Ain't No Thang and Crumblin' Erb

I've only heard a couple songs by OutKast, but if this is their second worst, they have to be the most legendary hip hop group ever. I don't think I ever stopped banging my head along to the beat. Ain't No Thang, the title track, Player's Ball, and Crumblin' Erb should be absolute classics of mid 90s hip hop. I'm very excited to hear the rest of their discography, as I enjoyed this very much.
