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 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

this album goes beyond concept. you see, the problem with concept albums is that you can't always listen to tracks separately, you need to listen to the full piece. but donald achieved something great with this one. it's perfect (and ironic?) for a party, it's perfect for when you're feeling lonely, for when you just want to listen to some flow, for when you're just chillin in your room, not necessarily alone... it's really underrated tbh

Has some really good moments. The whole work is really ambitious and I give Glover a lot of credit for that, he released a 75-page screenplay to accompany this album, and the screenplay adds a bit more to each song, which is interesting. It's a good album though for the most part.
I've always loved Glover's lyrics. The beats he uses in this album are a little less unique compared to culdesac, however, he didn't have much flow with those. This album has so much more flow and is much easier to jam to in my opinion.
Less creativity in the beats but much more flow with this album
A really agressive Rap album! Great mystic and awesome beats.. 3005 and Sweatpants are the best tracks
This is a very good album i am noticing though that on repeated listens i tend to like it a little less than my initial reaction. Still a great work of art.
