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 64.7/100, a mean average of 60.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.4.

When you’re a band that gets trapped into a formula, it can be very difficult to break that formula. That’s where we see Ra Ra Riot right now. They’re the indie rock band with the orchestration. They’re what you think of when you think of chamber/baroque pop and it’s worked for them to this point. But this album feels contrived. There are moments that are quite good, but there are moments where the bombastic feel of the album gets dull. You have pieces like “When I Dream" that are different from the rest of the album in a very good way, and then it departs and goes right back into the perpetual drum fill that is this album. There are good moments, and I recommend listening to those moments. If Ra Ra Riot can break this formula and add a little variety to their music, they can make a great album.

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 :(
