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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Amazing album, highly underrated in my opinion. Not a weak spot on the album and a lot of these songs are great on their own too.

timeless lyricism and wordplay, but the production was missing that raw grittiness that makes it wu

Ghostface's third best album. Which still means it's better than your favourite artist's best album (OK, slight exagerration). This shit is raw, real, tight, dope, fresh, funky fly, poisonous darts, you get the picture. Buy it.
