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 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

This is the Adrian Belew album to get if you want to be entertained for a full 40 odd minutes. There isn't a weak moment on it and it is pure joy from the opening line of The Beatles cover 'I'm Down' to the end of the beautiful 'Ballet for a Blue Whale'.
One of Belew's best solo albums. Download The Rail Song, a really beautiful coming of age song with great train noises from Belew's guitar.

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 :(
