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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 89.2/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.6.

@solunastra.. tell me you don’t understand the meanings of melody and harmony without saying you don’t understand the meanings of melody and harmony.
Worst album of 2015... absolutely overrated: no melody, no harmony, dirty lyrics... rap is not music!
His second best album after Good Kid.
Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2016 Grammys. The winner was 1989 by Taylor Swift

One of the most beautiful album ive ever seen, the writing is so powerfull. It is written like a magnificient book, it is amazing
Should be higher
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Although Good Kid MAAD City truly hits home for me personally, this is a landmark contemporary record, and absolutely one of the most important hip hop records ever made.
its just perfect, theres not much else to be said. i could talk about this album for hours but saying its perfect just pretty much sums up everything that could be said about it. 10/10
