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 is rated in the top 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Fairly thorough collection of Neil Diamond singles. Interesting to hear the technology change as the singles advance. Going from mono, to 4 track to stereo.

It's a nice collection...but not an essential collection. There's a lot of live tracks here. However, they are NOT of the HOT AUGUST NIGHT quality. Do yourself a favor and just get HOT AUGUST NIGHT.

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 :(
