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 69.5/100, a mean average of 63.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

Red Letter Days was released to little fanfare as The Wallflowers fell off the popularity map fairly quickly. The understated and soft previous release Breach gained no new fans and lost some of the classic Bringing Down the Horse
Breach was actually a very good album.
Red Letter Days is their worst. It lacks soul and originality. Songs bleed into each and all of this is super safe pop songs in a desperate grasp for a radio single and some fan attention.
Closer, Health and Happiness, Feels Like Summer Again stand above the other average offerings.
Unfortunately, after this release there weren't many people left listening to hear the excellent Rebel, Sweetheart that would come next in 2005

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
