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 7% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.6.

The Pogues practically invented the Celtic Punk genre and were a great band live.

A band that truly knew how to write passionately depressing shite. A lot of their work'll live forever.

We need more Pogues albums here, people. Where's Peace and Love, at least?
Your feedback for The Pogues
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 :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
