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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

“Dark times” feels like an intimate conversation. Over mellow beats, Vince raps direct emotions. The laid back instrumentals make sure that you are always paying attention. Discussions of self-esteem, personal history, and advice are held in dead center. “Little Homies” is the most moving with its sentiment of being stronger than a difficult world. For all of this approaches' strengths, the album feels more respectful than profound. The conversation is useful but not life-changing.
I haven't heard a whole lot from Vince but this is probably my favourite album of his after Big Fish Theory.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
