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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Awful soundtrack to an awful movie.
One of, if not the standout film soundtrack of this century so far. Compliments the exceptional film it is part of in a truly phenomenal way, echoing its relentless, damning and intense feel in truly incredible fashion.
The brilliant blend of classic orchestral elements with electronic flourishes makes for a thoroughly modern and unique soundtrack that evokes The Dark Knight's feel as a movie in almost every note. That's what any good film score should do, and this one does it in stellar fashion, so much so you're reminded of just how good a film it is whenever you hear the distinctive sounds found here.
Hans Zimmer is without doubt a masterful composer with incredible talent that he has displayed throughout his career, but this is so far his greatest accomplishment. A soundtrack that truly expands and carries The Dark Knight and evokes the feel of the movie throughout. And as far as goosebump-inducing masterpieces go, this is one of the best.

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 :(
