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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.0/100, a mean average of 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Excellent album and political! 9/10!
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Well crafted grooves showcasing jazz and afrobeat.

Two engaging and immersive tracks. A deeply political album you can safely play at (almost) any party.
Intense music.
I. Can't. Stop. Moving. ...
This is so short though, I need it to go on forever and ever. And ever.

Iconic and a great way to start exploring modern music from the Continent.

Also...this one benefits more than usual from a good system or headphones. And do play it loud.

This is one of them albums that grow on you. I remember buying it and listening to it several times thinking it was alright, then one day I put it on when alone in my car on a long drive and the full power of the title track just punched me in the face. Loved the album ever since.

I challenge you not to get up and dance on the title track !
