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 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Nas sounds perfect over the tracks. Queens story, accident murderers and daughters are career highlight.

Probably one of the strangest break-up albums of the decade, it's impassioned, sloppy and bruskly charming in geniunely interesting ways, the best we can ask from Nas these days.

Nas strikes again with this album. It's a personal record that carries a rugged 90's vibe while still staying relevant to the times.

He's a hip-hop elder statesman now and brings the wisdom behind his words. There's a sharpness in his lyrics, and yet, nothing really stands out as a great song ("accident murderers" is the best here). Varying between hard deliveries and smooth jazzy backdrops (incl. amy winehouse), this is a nice listen nonetheless, it just doesn't measure up to his last album.

Nas' best since at least God's Son, and perhaps the first truly grown up mainstream hip-hop album.
