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 70.7/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 10.3.

I preferred when he would get the funk out with the early Commodores, but he did retain the ability to write a popular tender ballad or a fun party song.
Great music
Pop genius, even if his music is a little simple.

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 :(
