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 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.2.

Good garage surf rockabilly/psychobilly with some crooning thrown in. Enjoyable catchy tunes. Great for a singalong.
How far can too far go? Clearly not far enough. One lp of mine that wont find its way onto ebay. IF swamp, rockabilly caberet was ever a genre The Cramps pretty much owned it.

The Cramps conjure up the spirit of 1950's rockabilly almost to perfection here. It also marks their departure from horror-themed lyrical content and a move towards tongue-in-cheek sexual innuendo. A really, really fun album.

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 :(
