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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 86.3/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

Great idea, haunting keys, incessant drums and a great arrangement. It's a belter live too.
A very fun idea about a burglar who breaks into a haunted house, only to be trapped there for eternity by the ghosts within. It's executed quite well, thanks to Collins' biting vocals and infectious drumming, as well as Banks' haunting synthesizers and Rutherford's deep bass, setting the perfect musical backdrop for the lyrical imagery. It's an excellent, unique pop song with dashes of prog, making for one of the highlights of the record.

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 :(
