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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

A strong album with great ideas but simply too long and too much filler (relative to the best tracks--of which there is 9, IMO!) to be a classic.

The album balances Hip Hop with Neo Soul and Jazz to make for a well-produced and varied listen, but the first half is much stronger than the second half. However, the album does end strong.

Favorite Track: "Good Mourning."

9/10! (Edited)
