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 70.1/100, a mean average of 67.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1998 Grammys. The winner was Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan

Helped along by Peter Gabriel, she has his sense of drama and delicate approach to tragic lyrics. She has a nice voice and sense of melody, charging most songs with a delicate passion, especially hits "i don't want to wait" and "where have all the cowboys gone?"

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 :(
