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 68.0/100, a mean average of 66.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Very poppy album, which might garner it some hate, but Cole pulls off great verses and great melodies to make an excellent pop rap album.

One of the best "studio album" from J Cole. Rich niggaz second verse is incredible. Underrated but still the beat are a little bit too much pop sounding for me.

Kanye's my boy and I love his music, but let's be honest, it's a disgrace Born Sinner is lower than Yeezus. This is easily the better album that came out Tuesday. The lyrics on this album blow Kanye's out of the water. I listened to Yeezus then this and I'm so glad I did. J. Cole sold me by the end of the first verse lol. Production and beats Kanye probably has the edge, but J. Cole's lyrics are much better. I recommend both, but give first preference to this, and this is coming from a big fan of all of Kanye's music.
