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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Not bad actually. Definitely odd but I was able to listen to each track without my ears bleeding.
I’ve been meaning to listen to Eyedea for 5 years but never got around to it. Was reminded by seeing posts remembering him on his birthday (today). Rap rock has a bad rap(ha) for a good reason but this album is an exception. Quality rhyming, that gels well with the rock. The rock instrumentals are just as good as the mc. I think he does it better than Aesop ever has on this album.
