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 61.2/100, a mean average of 60.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.1.

Piece of absolute rap garbage. Not one justifying song when each song ranges from mediocre to absolute crap. It's cheesy, overrated and just terrible. I can't see how Lil' Wayne is popular when this is his best album. What a joke.

There is some good production and there are good instrumentals here. The rapping and lyrics are just so terrible. So bad that it's not even "so bad it's funny" it's just bad and painful to listen to. Listening to an entire album by Lil Wayne is exhausting.

Why is Lil Wayne's voice so unbearable. The worst part is he'd be a decent artist if his voice wasn't so annoying.
