Another extemely underrated album, the RZA gives a proggressive rap album using abstract insrumentals to take the Wu's trademark dark, ominous atmosphere to a new level. i'm predicting this album is years ahead of it's time. [First added to this chart: 12/27/2010]

The little known Wu-Tang album that deserves alot of praise. awesome beats, awesome lyrics, the Wu lay it down throughout the whole album. Method Man's verse on 'Rulez' is one of the greatest verses ever in rap. [First added to this chart: 12/27/2010]

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 84.1/100, a mean average of 82.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.5.

This chart NEEDS Lamar's good kid, M.A.A.D. City. Apart from that, it's pretty good. I really like most of your choices, and I have to agree with you number one pick.
