Rating metrics:
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 69.9/100, a mean average of 66.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

A bit RUN-DMC-ish, but their flow is great nonetheless. And the fact that they’re women automatically puts an interesting spin to it, vocal-wise and theme-wise.

I don't believe push it is on the original 86 issue but on later issues as was a hit. Album is decent, better than I'd thought. That's mostly as the production is good for 86 and fairly sample based. Was quite surprised to hear what is almost certainly the first ever use of the "Amen Break", well over a year before straight outta Compton. It's no coincidence that the first in the ultimate breaks and beats lp's was released in 86 which included Amen Brother, still respect to hurby for some advanced production for 86.

One of the first female mainstream rap groups. They get props for that. Unfortunately, most of the tracks on this album are pretty weak.
