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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 83.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

I adore this recording. It’s Cave doing most of his best songs and even then I feel a couple of them deserve definitive version status. What a tremendous time capsule piece from an unprecedented time, I recommend this highly.
Oh, and this album inspired me to learn the piano!

A true master. Exactly what I expected. Exactly what I wanted. Stunning.
"A souvenir from a strange and precarious moment in history". Magnificent!
There are very few living artists who could pull this off, but Cave delivers a collection of his finest songs (and some lesser known ones too) in such a breathtaking way. This album is stunning. Those who are fans will know the backdrop to the album. But if you are unfamiliar with his work, just give this album a listen, and it won't leave you. A master craftsman and at the moment there is no equal.

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 :(
