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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

I guess you can never have too much Funky Drummer. I liked the sampled music on this, as well as the non-sampled beats and bass. For me the production is what made the album good, while the rapping was just all right. Then again I'm not a hip hop fan but I liked this a lot.

It's got a few classics, but it's just too long and too repetitive.
