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 is rated in the top 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Definitely disappointed. Although this is pretty good pop rap, this isn't exactly where I wanted Chance's music to go. Singles like 'Angels' got me hoping for a mixtape with that tropical type sound and some gospel 'Ultralight Beam' stuff mixed in.
Chance went for a very mainstream pop-rap sound here and even makes some party songs. I think the feature list is terrible and I never thought I would see Future or Young Thug on a Chance mixtape. Maybe I was hoping he would stay in his druggy phase forever, which probably led to my disappointment even more. It definitely seems as though Chance is maturing, which is good since he is now a father. I do however enjoy some moments on here quite a bit. All We Got, Summer Friends, Blessings, and Angels are the high points for me. Maybe it's a grower and overtime I'll learn to love it.
It'll be interesting to see where Chance goes from here, whether he'll go back to his prior sounds or continue to dig deeper into the mainstream.

Honestly I'm really impressed with this. This is what "life of pablo" should have been. It slumps in the middle 1/3 of the LP but the beginning and ending few tracks solidify this overall fun and enjoyable record.
Reminds me a lot of an earlier Kanye record (College Dropout and Graduation come to mind) and he's an unabashed protege of Kanye.
I also wanted to see the concepts on "ultralight beam" explored a little farther because I thought that was by far the best track on "The Life of Pablo" and that's exactly what I got!
Cons: Some of the features questionable. And I'm looking forward to the day when trap is over.

As a huge fan of Acid Rap & 10 Day (Both in my overall chart) I think I may be disappointed. I need to listen to it more though.
Probably my favorite Chance album, even though 10 Day comes very close to this. All of the tracks on the album have good lyrical content and are fun to listen to. Second best album of the year, just next to Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool.
This album is revolutionary in its production style, feel, and overall theme. Chance has some of the best bars of 2016 on this album and weaves together some great emotion and story telling. Besides Mixtape, I loved every song on this album
