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 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.8.

The first half of the album has some killer songs with great lyrics. I especially love Golden Promises and Losing Faith in Words. The song "Flight" is not that good in my opinion, however, and is one of Peter Hamill's worst efforts. It has some good sections but it just sounds really forced.
The first side of this album is really good, but I think Flight isn't one of Peter's better moments. It's interesting in parts, but just seems a little forced.
Includes the full album side classic "Flight". Another canon album of early PH.

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 :(
