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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

Far from her best. A bit too self indulgent and rambling. Odd good moments though

Badu really lets loose on this one. None of her earlier albums thump like this one. Easily her most hip-hop influenced work. You feel the confidence on this record. However, I find it a tad unfocused at times. While I enjoy the freedom, a little more control would greatly enhance the sound.
