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 85.7/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.2.

great list. You gave me like 10 albums to really check out now that I never heard of before.
Much love - peace
Some great female artists in your faves really cool
You have a lot of interesting choices. I see you're into female voices in the alternative, indie, rock scene. You should check out Juana Molina (any album is great), Ely Guerra's Sweet & Sour, Hot Y Spicy and Julieta Venegas' Bueninvento. I think you will like them.

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 :(
