Rating metrics: Help 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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.7/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

There are some great beats and samples here but there's just too much other nonsense for me to properly enjoy it. Such as the talking interludes and annoying rapping. I do enjoy rap when it's done right (Nas, Kanye, Outkast) but I mostly didn'y enjoy this, think it was a bit too raw for me. Although the beats and instrumentals do save its rating. Favourite is Can It Be Simple. (Edited)

I liked the hard beats and chill sparse production. The off kilter piano is cool. A lot of the better musical parts are actually sampled.

But too many voices, and some of the rapping isn't very good. The spoken parts between the group members are awful. And they didn't really have much to say that was meaningful, other than wear protection.

The high points on this album are some very good chill hip hop, but there are a few duds as well. "7th Chamber Part 2" has some more elaborate production, including nice synth line and sax riffs - I'd like to have heard more of that.

Overall I find this an okay album, mainly for some of the music and beats. (Edited)

Amzing, I think it's as good as rap gets for me, everybody here has distinct voice and flow and together they deliver highest energy possible on this atmospheric beats, lyrics are full of anger and violence which fits perfectly with samples from martial arts movies. (Edited)
