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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.8.

They have my respect for managing to stay relevant 15 years deep into their discography, but this is such a let down, far from their best attempts. It feels like they tried to adapt to what was going on in hop hop during that era by featuring guests such as Ghostface, MF DOOM, Common and the production has this soul background that became huge thanks to Kanye West. Still, it seems they are one step behind the competition and couldn't match the best albums of that time period.
