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 63.5/100, a mean average of 59.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Well this is rough. I'm probably biased as a Blondie/Debbie Harry fan that bought this on vinyl, but even I have to acknowledge it's not great. There are a few good tracks such as "Jump Jump", "The Jam Was Moving", and "Backfired". But some not so great ones such as "Now I Know You Know", "Inner City Spillover", and "Chrome". The rest is OK, but it averages to a mediocre 7/10.

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 :(
