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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.5/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.8.

I didn't expect a lot from this mix tape/album, especially with the lack of promotion that usually precedes a Drake album drop, but after reading about the feud between Drake and Cash Money Records, it's evident that Drake not only made the right move by releasing this album the way he did, but he also did not degrade the quality of the production and content matter by releasing a mediocre album just to fulfill a contract agreement. Definitely an album that will grow on you after each listen, as you will begin to memorize and pick out your favorite parts from the many offered. the first half of the album seems to be loaded with the best songs, while the second half hasn't impressed me as much, but even then Drake proves that he is one of the best commercial rappers out, and we can continue to expect great music from him.

My favorite song is "*67", because of the lyrical content, delivery and the way the beat changes partway through.

Would probably have a higher rating if it wasnt for the PARTYNEXTDOOR features, which i didnt really dig at all. But other than that this shit is the most confidence inducing album ever, everytime I listen to this mixtape (whatever) i feel so so good and top. He just oozes class and confidence all over this record and it's so enjoyable to listen to and keeps me coming back.
