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 69.9/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

Two years after his promising demos, the guitarist of The Internet releases a first album uninhibited and quite inconsistent. Steve Lacy refuses to yield to the majors of the music industry. He releases his music freely and refines his own style. "Apollo XXI" sounds like a home-made album, intimate and uninhibited, in its themes as in its production which still lo-fi. The young prodigy is surrounded by drum machines, Californian synths and guitars with their characteristic sound. But the problem is that most songs are forgettable and the album should have been better produced and mixed, Steve Lacy still sound as if he's in a demo EP. He sounds like an inconsistent Frank Ocean, it's a truly desapointment.
4/10

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 :(
