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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Excellent album from this German progressive band. This is rarely seen on vinyl so happy to have picked up a near mint copy at a antiques fair. The vocals are more spoken on this particular album but made up for with the top notch instrumentation.

Pretentious post-prog,
Last track is the Eloy’s trying to make their “Shine on you crazy diamond” (Pink Floyd) ?

Eloys best work. What a journey. A treasure for Krautrock and Spacerock fans.

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 :(
