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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

This was my album of the year for a very long time. Just excellent. Blood is the track that continues to sit with me months after listening to the album as it makes me think of me and my own siblings. (Edited)

This is really rather good. For my tastes, the best thing that she has done so far in her career. Plenty of jazz and afro beats influences, which I love (Edited)

Simbi does it again! (Edited)
Little Simz does it again. Another excellent project with beautiful instrumentation, powerful and emotional lyrics, and a charismatic performance by Simz. While I'm not sure it surpasses Grey Area and SIMBI, I'll need more time with it, this album is more proof that Little Simz is one of the most interesting and exciting artists around. (Edited)
