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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Silky Smooth adult pop, some of the best singles of the 80s
YES, It's a compilation but a really good one. Tracks like 'All of My Heart', 'When Smokey Sings' and 'The Look of Love' were pivotal tracks in the eighties new wave of avante garde electro pop. The musicianship and innovation many of the eighties bands demonstrated was overshadowed by the age of the music video and a core of artists that hugged the top ten positons in the charts. It is only now, some thirty plus years that these bands can be fully appreciated for their sheer musicianship and innovation.

ABC made some terrific songs, and they're all here. If anyone still cares, that is.

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 :(
