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)

Sometimes Melbourne band Total Control drop a post punk masterpiece that is and was critically acclaimed yet 9 years on remains underrated.
Though there are some highlights, the uneven sound and quality drag this down in a big way.
Icy synth-punk that owes more than a little to Wire, Magazine or Ultravox - cuts such as 'Liberal Party' or 'Safety Net' wouldn't sound out of place on 'The Correct Use of Soap'. Not to detract from their originality or melodic nous, much of Typical System, especially 'The Hunter' has the kind of songwriting chops most cold waver's would kill for.

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 :(
