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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.2.

Only just bought this. As soon as I dropped the needle onto 'Kick Back City' I knew that I was in for a treat. The driving bass and drums on track one set the tone for a real hard rock blues blend. The theme continues with the gradual build up on track two, a more acoustic sounding number. The rest of the album doesn't disappoint with superb guitar work and Harmonica courtesy of RG. A Harder edged approach to Blueprint and Tattoo.

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 :(
