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 72.0/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.3.

This album is so beautiful.
Why is it so underrated on BEA?
(Maybe because of some country influences?)
Or maybe just because it´s the second of 2012 ans simply overlooked.

The second new Andrew Bird album to come out in 2012, this one is more engaging but yet feels more folksy. He's the master of the stringed instrument, reaching back to the yarns of grassroots country delving into religion and general spirituality. But like the first album, andrew bird is now cemented into adult contemporary corner, his lyrical witticisms and turns of phrase mostly watered down at this point.

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 :(
