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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 60.8/100, a mean average of 41.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 41.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 26.9.

Sorry to say, but on a previous page I clicked on the chart link with the lowest rating and was curious. But you have some of my dearest artists listed. Fuck the naysayers - those people are dingbats. They also might not exist.

Good variety, although most are very average albums in my view

10 points for variety.

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 :(
