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 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

It's a grower like most alternative hip hop. If you're looking for something more creative than your regular, safe, pop rap and you don't really dabble in the hardcore/gangsta then this is for you.
If you like hip hop in general this is a classic, must-listen-to, album.

I saw this album once at the top of a list of "hip hop albums for people who don't like hip hop." I'm not sure I quite fit that description, but it is true that I don't like a lot of the Kanye/Jay-Z brand of hip hop that dominates most of the discussion. This is, for my money, the greatest hip hop album of all time. It's jazzy, danceable, political, and poignant.
