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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.6/100, a mean average of 65.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

Another fine album by Jay-Z, just fine. He knows himself for sure, not everyone should use auto-tune, just people with ear for melody. And that's part of his success: knowing his own limits. The question is just are those borders marking a big enough territory.

Last worthwhile album, but at this point, it sounds like the game has moved past him.
This record is a floorplan to mediocracy. What a piece of crap!
This album is a let down, definitely one of his worst albums. I do not recommend this to anyone for any occasion unless you have a serious fetish for underachieving albums. Best song: Empire State of Mind. I wouldn't bother with the rest of the album it's not worth the time.
leave it to Jay-z to make "Tha Carter III" look artistic and edgy, yikes this is bad
