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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.5/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

A good rock-blues album. Very underrated, but I'm not surprised. Just listen it.
Another mellow J.J.Cale album. Shades, is not the best of his records, but it has some good tracks. Carry on, wish I had not said that, and, mama don't, are all enjoyable, while the instrumental closing track, cloudy day, is lovely.

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 :(
