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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

A true one-album wonder Friends were. One of the catchiest releases of the decades, it feels less like 12 seperate numbers but one massive, seamless earworm of a hit instead, mixing 60s girl-group, 80s atmospheric synth-driven pop, 90s alt-groove edge and a modern cosmopolitan brooklyn-hipster sensibility. And it works rather beautifully thanks to the deft mix of electronics and tight drum-and-bass rhythem along with Samantha Urbani's sly, reedy vocals. While short of a modern classic, they had immense potential but sadly split up not long after Manifest! was released.

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 :(
