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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

A great album, often overlooked, portably one of their best along with Solar, Watch and Roaring Silence
This entire album conveys a beautiful message that we don't get to witness often in music today..this is widely overlooked album in general but surprisingly by BEA as well, probably my favorite Manfred Mann release.

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 :(
