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 66.8/100, a mean average of 65.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

This is better than Lasers and had some nice moments but not a full comeback to the quality of his first two albums.

This is a good hip-hop album for lupe, with some interesting sampling ideas and decent rhymes, especially on standout "battle scars", but the catchy beats and overall hip-chill vibe of the original "food & liquor" are long past now. I'm not sure if i'll binge on to "part 2" or not. It's good, but in the realm of hip-hop music, there's always a lot of fresh blood with something to prove and untapped potential. What potential does lupe have left? (We'll have a solid understanding when F&LII,Part2 comes out.)

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
