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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

This rap/hip-hop/mashy mixtape definitely sounds like a mixtape in that it explores a lot of unpolished ideas, some interesting, some cool. Most of these ideas could've used a little more studio work or fine-tuning for maximized execution. Opener "out of space" (and "fantasea") is a great example -- she deftly raps atop of prodigy's early 90s techno jam, but the song relies too heavily on the underlying sample. Azealia is a good rapper and chooses some interesting samples, part of the new wave of hip-hop that explores indie and IDM for sampled inspiration in sort-of-mashup style, but wasn't able to put enough ideas together cohesively enough to deliver on her potential. It overstays its welcome too, as mixtapes often do.

1991 will always be her best work, but this is the first full-length effort that introduced us to the rap prodigy that raps over genres like house like it’s nothing.
Sure sometimes she relies a bit too much on the samples, but that’s not the case for most songs, I feel like someone listened the first four tracks and then decided that was enough to write a review. There are still some gems at the end of the album, like “Jumanji”.
