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)

Philip Glass has two kind of basic signature compositions.
One is deeply emotional and soft/lyrical (eg this album's opening and closing, Einstein on the beach's intro, etc).
The other is highly energetic and agitated, with pronounced bass lines that struggle against high pitched one (eg this one).
Personally never found the second ones as appealing as the first ones.

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 :(
