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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

One of the all time great compilations. Complete Madness, is perfect in the sense that it captures the band at their best and just before they started to slide. Madness were a brilliant singles act, as proof here, stunning songs in, grey day, it must be love, baggy trousers, embarrassment, and, one step beyond, they're all great. There are other Madness compilations available with more tracks, but this is the best one. Compact and classic.
First album by a single artist (I.e not a various artists comp) that I ever bought and as a great singles band in this case pretty fitting.

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 :(
