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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Intelligent emcee at work. Loop heavy beats, but it's mostly about the rhymes.

The Truth, Queens, God Sent, Behind Closed Doors, Simon Says

** Honorable mention Recommended for anyone who likes underground rap.

Monch is one of the greatest MC's of all-time, and this (his first solo effort) is stunning. His most fun album. His array of flows is ridiculous, and the beats are sweet. Good luck finding it pon CD doe.
