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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

A fantastic album to chill out to, by yourself or with mates. The lyrics and music make interesting talking points. Certainly after a few drinks the notions pop up that we could make something similar and we make up an impromptu band. But don't be fooled by simple rhythms and clanging pans, the familiar lyrics or the ease at which their music subdues you into a lull and over ambition of what you think you can do....stop and get back to listening & get another beer. Remember you were chilling out!
Totally underrated Band. Never sure what category they fell into, but whatever it is they're top of the list.
I expect to hear their tracks on movies or TV shows...sci-fi or murder mystery.

'The Three E.P.'s' is a compilation album of the first three releases by The Beta Band, comprising the EPs:
(1) Champion Versions 1997
(2) The Patty Patty Sound 1998
(3) Los Amigos del Beta Bandidos 1998
Recalling loving The Beta Band from when these EP's first came out I recently went back and re-listened to this album and its aged really well sounding as cool and relevant today as it did 20 years ago
I was struck with how much this material reminded me of Alt-J in terms of song structure and harmony's - I've realised my love of Alt-J probably began with my love of The Beta Band
Simply awesome

A beautiful collection of ramshackled lullabies.
These guys are really huge, one hour twenty minutes I want to repeat forever
After The Fall, no other band has ever given me so many great songs. This "collection" is something every single person should hear.

These guys had something of their own.

some of my favourite EPs, coincidentally all three seem to work really well as an album.
