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 77.0/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Great collection of some of their best performances at BBC.
Superb glimpse of The Beatles' talent before Sgt. Pepper and beyond, as songwriters, musicians, and personalities. For someone like me, who prefers the energy of the early years, this is a treasure trove of songs that you won't find on any other album. If you find this to your liking, there's a 10 disc box set available that contains every BBC recording known to still exist.

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 :(
