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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.4.

Feels like Hip Hop. Could hardly be said to be it though. I mean if you like this perhaps you will find something in 'Red Snapper' as well. It's all pretty cool and glass drinking music.

Unequal tracks but overall this is a great and original album. Effective mix of electro, hip/hop and funk.
Favorite tracks: War (85), Take out (80)
Less favorite tracks: Poppin’ Wheelies (65), Da Da Da (60)
an eclectic mix of trip hop/Mexican funk, some truly great atmospheric stuff. A golden find on youtube.
