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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

This is the pop gem Brenden Benson wished he could pen and almost became lost in all the male, solo, indie-pop albums that continued to roll out from 2005 into 2006. Ignore he's barely out of his teens, this is frolicking, in-crush-with-you 80s pop by the way of Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend" which will leave you smiling contrary to the unrequited love underneath. "Penny on the Train Track" is a candidate for song of the year. If that or the opener "Run" doesn't draw you in, you might as well give up pop altogether.

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 :(
