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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.2/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.6.

This might just be the most overlooked album in music history. It is a flawless and timeless EP. The production quality is otherworldly and the lyricism is coy and intelligent. From start to finish it is an outstanding piece of music.

I'm quite ashamed this hasn't picked up steam, especially on this website. It has all the elements of a full-length album, but trimmed down. A perfect EP.
