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 66.9/100, a mean average of 65.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2025 Grammys. The winner was Cowboy Carter by Beyonce (Edited)
Evanescente y con un toque orientalizante, un puñado de largos y trabajados temas idóneos para una ambientación suave y relajada. (Edited)

Sorry, but this is no ambient; this is its stupid brother new age. Spa-ass music. It sounds like he found out about ambient music the day before he decided to make this. It doesn't even sound like he's got full control over the instruments he's using. And the concept of 13+ minutes long flute solos with the most generic ambient noises ever in the background is also not really doing it for me.
Amateurish. We should look at this as a first album of a new artist. And that's fine; if this is something new he wants to try, but not yet very good at. However, as an established artist, you have something to uphold, and expectations that come with that. You should have some shame. You could also just start anew with a new alias. Either way, I would not encourage him continuing this direction. You're not good at this type of music, Andre. That's my advice. (Edited)
Despite this being a strange departure from rap, its a very good ambient album nevertheless. (Edited)
