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 71.3/100, a mean average of 59.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 20.6.

Really unique. Not sure, if I can believe everything? Coda? Slow Train?
But you are the only one to include the Puhdys? This is bizarre.
Your list made me laugh. Not everything, but a couple things. I don't know if that was intended...
Quite original, but you mentioned some great stuff (second helping especially which is often forgotten...)!

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 :(
