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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.0/100, a mean average of 81.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

An interesting and funky album. A very cohesive album tied together by the band's unity and a general aesthetic of absurdity. The songwriting is exceptionally creative and the music can be held to the same standard for most of the album. The lyrics can get a little distracting at times and the instrumentation is a little lacking at points. My favorite songs are "Who Is It?" and "The Book I Read".
Favorite Tracks:The Book I Read, Don't Worry About The Government
85/100
An opening decent debut album for one of the best bands all time
Good start to a really good band.
the start of one of the greatest bands of all time
I tried to fit this in any movement of It's time. I failed. What is this thing?

A few legitimate standouts, but more a dry run for great things to come.

Talking Heads:77 BEA Ranked 501 at time of writing January 2017.
I listened to this album twice and its ok but apart from Psycho Killer it lacks several killer tracks the great albums have . The Deluxe Version has 5 extra tracks which are pretty good including an alternate ( and wonderful)Psycho Killer version with different instrumentation and some fresh lyrics.
On a side note in 1979 The Fools released a Psycho Killer parody called "Psycho Chicken" & as a lad I actually owned the 7'inch single of "Psycho Chicken " (I don't remember buying it , but I had it ) . Any how at the time I had no idea it was a Talking Heads parody & thought it was a totally cool / funny track ! . It was yeeeeeeaaaars later I discovered the truth . LOL my 1st Talking Heads experience Psycho Chicken .

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 :(
