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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 85.7/100, a mean average of 84.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Enjoyed parts of it, All Caps and Accordion are my favourites. But the songs for me were mostly too short to get into, I think if more of them were a bit longer they'd be more memorable to me.

A solid hip hop album that is very engaging and stays fresh throughout the whole run time. The flow of the album is great and this makes for a very smooth listen as each song fits together really well. It is also experimental and multi-layered making it enjoyable to revisit as you can find a lot of stuff you missed before such as some genius sample work. Overall, this is a strong hip hop album that is hugely influential and is a must listen due to its importance.

For now some of the best production I heard on an hip-hop album (though Liquid Swords is still the king of productions imo), but the rapping seems to lack passion.
