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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

It's really cool to discover albums and bands through AOTY users. Thank you very much Smallpeeble for recommending this Dr. Dog album. "Critical Equation" is a kind of "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" but more successful. The album is really cool: there are fantastic harmonies, bubbling rock moments, slow and pleasant moments and psychedelic melodies. Dr. Dog does what he knows how to do and he does it very well. For this album, Dr. Dog, which is a very underrated band, does a remarkable job. This album made my weekend.
7/10
Best track: "Buzzing In The Light"
Underrated as with all of their stuff. A mix of their older stuff and something that almost seems like Pink Floyd. Creates a really interesting sound and I can't wait to see where they go from here.

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 :(
