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 is rated in the top 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.3/100, a mean average of 90.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.2.

Excellent chart

@plasticships My pleasure.
@rockbluesfolkjaz If you dig Untrue I recommend checking out his EP's, particularly Kindered and Rival Dealer. Great stuff with some unexpectedly hype and heavy songs here and there.
rockbluesfolkjaz 10/19/2021 18:24
A lot of interesting choices here, many of which I'm unfamiliar with. I'm listening to "Untrue" as I write this.

Thanks for turning me on to so much great music.

@Amir interesting quote, man. Looked for it and found its context - an open letter to Miles Davis, a known "reality-escaping" heroin addict. Here's the full paragraph:
"Just because I'm playing jazz I don't forget about me. I play or write me the way I feel through jazz, or whatever. Music is, or was, a language of the emotions. If someone has been escaping reality, I don't expect him to dig my music, and I would begin to worry about my writing if such a person began to really like it. My music is alive and it's about the living and the dead, about good and evil. It's angry yet it's real because it knows it's angry."

@RioBravo I'mm see that video very soon. I've been on a heavy Mingus kick lately, listening to his relatively lesser known records as well the classics. Interesting quote by him I saw the other day: “If someone has been escaping reality, I don't expect him to dig my music.” Don't know why, but it makes sense.

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 :(
