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 79.9/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

Great taste in music

Someone knows his rock and roll! Good stuff.
good chart, all the rock genres are there (hard, grunge, alternative, indie, industrial)
cult leader eh.. how's that working out for you? i'd be lying if i were to deny my own megalomaniacal aspirations..

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 :(
