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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist is rated in the top 6% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.0.

El mejor supergrupo de la historia.
First outing was fun and some great tunes, undeniably so. Second outing was Dylan dominated and lost its authenticity for me and the song standards were frankly lower. Not alone anymore is a great mournful song beautifully sung by Roy

Nothing they did was new or interesting, nor did it bother to combine strengths. Given that they are mostly mediocre vocalists, this isn't surprising.

What fun. These guys sound like a bunch of icons with nothing to prove, getting together and cranking out a few good-time folky rock tunes. As good as anything they were creating as individuals at the time. RIP Roy Orbison - it would have been great to keep this experiment up.

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 :(
