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 78.5/100, a mean average of 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.7.

The sleeve photograph can only hint at what this album is. Close your eyes and you are right back in the heart of sixties San Fransico Bay psychedelia. There are nods to Hawkwind in the way the vocals sit in the mix however the psychedelic guitar is much more akin to Country Joe and the Fish/Eric Burdon and the Animals. Really like it!
Is here definitely underrated !

More "Grooving off-the-wall psychedelia" from the Shjips.

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 :(
