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 68.8/100, a mean average of 65.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Probably the weakest album of them. Truly awful lyrics, this is the worst that Mark has ever done in a single album in this department. The instruments are well played, as it almost always is in any GFR album.
Also it is not very well produced, specially the vocals sound weird. But the lyrics are painfully bad, I almost feel physical pain hearing them and they really bring the album down.
If this was an instrumental album, it would easily be an 80 or 85 for me.

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 :(
