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 72.3/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.7.

When this album came out I was really disappointed that it wasn't as engaging as Writer's Block. But I think the album has aged pretty well for the most part. A few of the songs have a bad, repellent, commercial sound that some Europop bands fall ill with, kind of an antiseptic sound that you hear over the speakers at the Gap or in the background of a TV commercial for exciting soy milk or whatever. ("Dig a Little Deeper" makes me lunge for the stop button.) But most of the songs hold up OK. "May Seem Macabre" in particular is a really nice song. I guess I respect the album more than I want to hear it.

Between Hot Chip and Peter Bjorn & John, this is as pop as IDM can be, all while using "live" instruments for the most part. Hit songs abound! "second chance" only hints at the danceable pop brilliance inside.

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 :(
