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 70.0/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.2.

“(1) It started so good, and it quickly went to shit. Tuscan Leather may be the best thing I've heard from him, and no matter what I think of his albums and attempts at writing hits, he has several of those incredible album cuts (Marvin's Room, The Real Her...) which are fantastic. Tuscan Leather…”

The beat for Tuscan Leather is amazing. And Hold On We're Going Home is an incredible song.. I wouldn't be surprised if he released an album of strictly R&B tracks.

Didn't really care for this, he's trying really hard to step up to the standards created by Lamar, but never quite reaching it.

That said, Hold On We're Going Home is a bangah.

On par-ish w/ Take Care, wasn't the dramatic step forward artistically that take care was from thank my later. Still waiting on Drake to come out with something really great. He needs to take more time between records and get rid of the filler as per usual - which is my largest complaint about Drake - beyond the appeal to mainstream tropes and immature lyrics.

I really like the samples on this album, some electronica blend often settling on some dubstep tangent. Drake's singing is pretty good too. The fault i find is with the lyrical content and editing. Some of these songs simply don't have enough good ideas to justify song lengths. Then the lyrical content sometimes is too inane or simplistic kind of how Yeezus seems to me at times. His lyrics are sometimes a little too unnecessarily perverted like the new the-dream album. Of course, the whole album's worth the time just to listen to "hold on, we're going home", a classically-arranged r&b number with some heavily endearing sentiment which puts a lot of the perverted-slanted tracks to shame. This and another classic-sounding r&b song, "too much", are really the highlights. As much as I enjoy dubstep-backdrops, I wish he would've gone old-school more.
