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 71.7/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Those who compare this to Kendrick will be disappointed. Those who take this on it's own merits will find a flawed, but enjoyable hip-hop album.

Can get a bit daft lyrically at times, and has some annoying hooks, but overall a very strong album with mostly solid production and good turns from several features - Jay Rock, Raekwon, Kendrick. Blind Threats and Break the Bank are the main standouts for me, the latter should be a strong contender for a hip hop track of the year for me.

i might have to listen to it again, but it didn't hit me as hard as Habits & Contradictions. Kendrick might have raised the bar a little high though

Synthetises West Coast 90s, Eminem, and NYC. Not always on point, but overall really really good. Singles are killers, and ScHoolboy's flow goes well with slow-paced numbers.
