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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.5/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

I can't stay home brother. I have tune in, turn on, and cop out to this album. Seriously great.

Soul, jazz, funk, proto-rap... very original for its time and a very nice listen. Whether it's chill vibes or politcal poetry, the man's got it. Great album.
Gets a bit much after about 40 minutes, but some beautiful songs, and the lyrics are worth it alone.
This album is incredible piece of a man, of Gil Scott, of art.
