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 71.8/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 14.7.

Promising start followed by a gradual descent into power ballad hell.
Great music

Forgivable slick arena rock. So corny it's fun.

Great rock band of the late 70s and early 80s. Their four first records are really worth it: Foreigner, Double Vision, Head games, 4. After that it became too Barry Manilowish for me.

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 :(
