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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Just as essential as The Wailer's breakthrough album, Catch a Fire, Burnin' contains a more militant sound and some of Marley and Co's best-known work to date, including I Shot the Sheriff and Get Up, Stand Up.
This is one of the non-European or US-originated albums. Just so magnificent change after listening dozens of basic rock albums. BMW !
Grande clássico, mudou a música da América Latina!
Last album by the Wailers. Good effort at mainteining all that talent in one album.
Una sequenza di grandi canzoni tra cui ovviamente svettano i due pezzi da novanta "Get up, stand up" e "I shot the sheriff"
Another of the great 'island' albums from Bob Marley and the Wailers. Great tracks in, get up,stand up, pad it on, and off course, I shot the sheriff, one of Marley's greatest songs. All of it is essential really.
Best Track: Get Up, Stand Up
Righteous and seriously in the pocket, this is the last Wailers album with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. Bob Marley's soulful cry is rivaled by the sticky organ riffs and fat-bottom beats.
Still a band effort before Marley's putsch.
Marley's 3rd best. This is a titanic album. Seems to have a harder edge lyrically than his other work.

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 :(
