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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

One of the most underrated debut albums ever. How many other songwriters make such a mature and fully formed record like this first time round . There's hints of Randy Newman and Tom Waits here, but it's mostly unique to Wainwright himself. Foolish love, is a stunning opener, and it's the first of many great songs. Matinee idol, beauty mark, baby, and, Sally Ann, are all stunning, as are, Barcelona, April fools, and, in my arms. The only weak track is probably, damned ladies, but it's still ok. A great debut from a career destined for greatness.

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 :(
