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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

A step-up from the stretch EPs with really interesting and quirky moments.
"Xen" marks a solid progression from his glitch hop "Stretch" EPs to this unique and sometimes baffling wonky record. It's not as great as others think it is, and compared to his self-titled 2017 record it lacks depth, but the sounds are alien enough that the whole thing works.

Musical madness. I'm not quite sure what's going on half the time but that just makes it all the more intriguing.

Why is this album cover censored and not No Love Deep Web?
Also, this album is dope. DOPE.
