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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

I loved this when it came out and played it to death. Most listen to it again to see how it stands up 30 years on.

Bomb Squad produced 2 tracks on this, Prince Paul did 2 and the rest was Sam Sever with the band. Great record and the first time we got to hear MF Doom (Zev Love X) on Gas Face. They rip into Hammer on that track and further down the line the lads ran into serious trouble because if it. My favourite has always been Wordz of Wisdom remix with the Amen sounding massive over a Depeche Mode sample.

better than people here give it credit. It is a bit long with a lot of short interludes. But the music is good. The Bomb Squad don't usually disappoint.
The Cactus Mojo mix where they sample Peace Frog and sime harmonica is really epic but it's only on the extended version.
All time classic
