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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

An incredibly strong concept album. Every element flows together beautifully. Ten fire tracks, smooth flow, socially conscious lyrics, historical context, originality in bundles, and a masterful, varied, and tasteful production makes for an undeniable classic. 9.5/10!

Good album a bit too long though. The 6th Sense is one of the best hip hop songs of all time

Common represents the streets, but he shows a different response to them. Instead of everything being about money, hos and violence, he wraps about struggling, moving forwards, and love. He gives a respectful vibe. His lyrics are intelligent and focused on growth. It also doesn't hurt that his flow is smooth, his voice is distinctive and clear, and his backing beats and loops give this album a soulful feel. His best.
