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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Great lyrical content and production value. How can you go wrong with P.E? I am not one of those guys who say that Old School Rap is better than what is out now. But no current rapper can hold a candle to these guys. This album was made in the late 80s and still hold up strongly. I highly recommend this album for just holding up through the test of time!

I wish I had a quid for every time I've played public enemy #1 and miuzi weighs a ton over the years. They sort of did ok after this album.

Somewhat overshadowed by the brilliance of It Takes A Nation, PE's first is still pure dynamite.

Feels less like a debut than the mixtape released before the debut.
Land mark hip hop album for me. Full marks.
