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 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.1.

Ok, this song's swirling synthesizers and effects seems like the prototype or fully-fledged demo of a song they should've made built upon this idea (with bass that reminds me of the cure). Basically only 2 lines of lyrics repeated ad nauseam across its 5 minute run time. It's like they came up with the idea and were too lazy to flesh it out....Gone are the days of the palanquin! #Disappointing

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 :(
