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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.2.

It's well sung and a decent ballad.
This one actually feels a little Oasis-like, just a lot more generic and a lot less interesting. I don't know if I should even address the lyrics in these reviews anymore; every lyric on Calling All Stations is weak compared to previous Genesis works, and Not About Us is no exception. Like Shipwrecked, it makes for good background music, but it's not interesting or deep enough to really dive into. "Inoffensive" is a good, concise word for this song.

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 :(
