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 73.3/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Right after he started using Parliament because he couldn't use Funkadelic, George Clinton launched the Mothership with this masterpiece.

This album is now 40 years old and it still sounds new !! George Clinton at his best you can dance to Testify and lay back with All Your Goodies... and Whatever Makes My baby.... his albums with Parliament & Funkadelic are so spaced out, he deserves much more recognition.

How is this ranked 23,000+ on our rankings? Eff off BEA! It's great!
Funky as hell, and sexy and just downright filthy! Listen to "Testify" and dance whilst doing so. You'll get it.

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 :(
