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)

In the mid-70s a nostalgia craze for the 50s immerged spurred on by the film American Graffiti and the tv show Happy Days. Bowie provides another variation on 50s doo-wop similar to Soul Love from Ziggy. This one's even better . With futuristic lyric, spacey background noises, and a great great chorus.
The starting point for the lyrics is a very original and strong story that - as is often the case with Bowie - is situated in the future. People who no longer know how to make love and, to find out, go and watch films from the past. The story is so strong that a scenario is being delivered for a film with existential accents. Bowie was such a special musician, or rather: a visionary artist who was far ahead of his time.

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 :(
