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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Aisha is outstanding and possibly the best song of 1999, a couple of other tracks are decent but there's a couple of duds as well

It's a decent album but its sound is very dated.
Also the focus is on layering ordinary instrumentation, neglecting the quality of what is being played. Musicianship's lacking.

There were moments I thought I might like this more than I expected, but those were overpowered by the moments that I couldn't wait for a song to end.

Oddly enough I've been listening to this album in 2017 and it's good . Very trippie but in a good way . The extended issue just released on Spotify clocks in at > 2 hours is not recommended, but the 9 track " standard " release is . Go on give it a listen , definitely recommended
