Poison ratings
Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:
av = trimmed mean average rating an item has currently received.
n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 65.6/100, a mean average of 61.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.4.

As cheezy as hair metal gets.
Fun hair band. Good simple basic riffs but some good songs.

I grew up listening to their music and I still really enjoy their 1st and 2nd albums and the third isn't bad as they began to change their sound. I lost track of them after that. They were the most fun Hair Metal band of the 80s.

First two albums are solid fun but it gets old fast. Everything after the second though is just not worth any time.

One of the better hair metal bands. They epitomize the genre. They were fun, catchy, and could actually play. Don't go looking for depth, poignancy, or creativity. They haven't aged well, but are worth it for nostalgia from time to time.

Your feedback for Poison
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 :(
