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 71.1/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Definitely has its moments but this is only ... adequate. Too many 'bah bah bah' lyrics for my liking! Tracks 12 to 19 above surely should not be here, because they are only on the expanded edition and not on the original album?
Kilimanjiro is their best album but this also has some brilliant tracks which highlight the genius that is Julian Cope
...And The Fighting Takes Over.

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 :(
