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 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 5.0.

Although responsible for many terrific original tracks herself (Batonga and Agolo spring to mind), Beninese vocal phenom Angélique Kidjo has a considerable talent for interpreting other people’s songs in her style, and this year she upped the ante by covering the entirety of Talking Heads’ classic album Remain In Light. In her hands, the album becomes more defiant and sanguine, perhaps a consequence of David Byrne’s Afrobeat influences being taken back to the source.

An interesting concept, but a lot of the tracks don’t have enough oomph behind them. I did enjoy her rendition of The Great Curve and Listening Wind though.
70/100 (Average)

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 :(
