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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.8/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

Compelling vocal performance that blurs the lines between poetry, rap and story-telling as Tempest brings tales from modern urban life with romance, drug dealing, gang violence, sex work, and family set to grimy beats packed with ear pleasing noises . Once the initial thrill of discovering the story of Becky and Harry is over, after repeated listens, there is still the catchy songs and great one-liners to enjoy on all the subsequent listens.
The second half of this album is so awesome to me (Edited)
