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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Stubbornly dissonant from start to finish, yet incredibly engrossing all the same. It's easy to get swept up in the chaos of it all. Singer Tim Taylor struggles to stay afloat in a sea of curdled guitars, queasy synths and god knows what. The band are clearly having a blast and their barely contained glee is the magic ingredient that prevent Bonsai Superstar from disintegrating into a hot mess. Although they share a love of the dissonant (and the absurd) with bands like Primus and Stump, Brainiac are pretty much in a league of their own here. I can't think of a single album this joyfully and defiantly off-kilter.

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 :(
