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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.4/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

I honestly love this album a lot. I picked it up from a CD store when I was a kid cuz I liked Sweetest Girl and Gone til November, and it was a really cool listen. Wyclef is still in Fugees mode on this release, and his storytelling on songs like "Diallo" and "911" are genuinely honest and somber critiques of minority struggle at a time when it wasn't being talked about very much. I find the Kenny Rogers and Whitney Houston dub plates to be hilarious and clef really makes those songs his own. The Pink Floyd cover is sick as well. Perfect Gentleman is insanely catchy and Something About Mary speaks for itself. Wyclef really brings worlds together from G-Funk, to East Coast gangster rap, to reggae, to classic rock on this album and I think the gimicks work for me at least. Lmao I hope this convinces someone to check it out.

I'll keep this album in mind if I ever get a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees.
