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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

I felt satisfied listening to this album all the way through. But I felt like it wasn't until near the end of the album when things began to really pick up. It's basically the opposite problem of albums that put all their best songs at the beginning and left me craving more songs like "War". But with this album it feels very intentional. I feel there is a story in it, but I'm not entirely sure what yet.
Usually not into World sub genres, but this was pretty good. Had a good mix of modern and traditional production techniques that I was a fan of.
Favorite Tracks: One Day, Kalaago and Peace.
