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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

White boy whipping out the N-word about a minute in. Can't play it around people without skipping that track, not unless you want to stop the party. "What was that lyric? Who's this guy? Why'd you put this on?" It kind of exemplifies the faux-bluesman-verging-on-blackface feel I sometimes get off Cooder, never been able to get into his stuff. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but when they use the word "authentic"? This ain't that.
This album has got a nice Hawaiian feeling to it.

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 :(
