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 87.0/100, a mean average of 87.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.1.

Cool with Dream Syndicate
Good to see that there’s another dream syndicate fan out there dihansse. Live at Raji’s is one of the finest live albums of all time.
Great chart, of course especially your number one which is one of the best live albums ever. But also many recs...
Nice chart!! Would be great to see some non-English language stuff creeping in ...
Great chart with a lot rare picks I like (Lloyd Cole, Giant Sand, Bruce Cockburn, John Hiatt, Cris Cacavas...maybe more of them should appear in my chart)
Good diversity, great to see Warren Zevon included. I felt that your #62-65 slots were an afterthought used to cram in the folk chicks.
Kings X, Lone Justice, Waits, Young & Zevon! What a fantastic chart. Only minus is R.E.M. I will ignore the R.E.M albums and give you a full score.
Every Dream Syndicate album is a gem. There are actaully a few more including another really tasty live album which might get added @ a later date. Green On Red will soon be added & yes, I have to have @ least a couple of Giant Sands as well. Good call lacashirearab.
I never knew the Dream Syndicate had so many albums and I had totally forgotten about Danny & Dusty. Surely you can get up to 100 by adding some Green on Red albums or something by Giant Sand.
Interesting! Neil Young's Freedom is fantastic.

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 :(
