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 72.4/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.8.

The best interlude on the album. Some people have dismissed these, but I think they're vital to the album's final impact on you. They help to contextualise Ocean's lyrics and indeed the album as a whole.
Be Yourself is particularly good for how well it works with the next track, Solo, switching from the stern advice of 'Mom' to the care-free melancholy of Ocean in Solo.

A transcendent interlude.

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 :(
