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)

Very underrated tracks. Mills provides a great lead vocal, and the instrumentation is wonderful. One of my favorites from R.E.M.

"Texarkana" is a real place on the boarder of Texas and Arkansas , R.E.M liked the idea of a location that combines 2 places into one
It is loosely about being in the middle of no where
The original demo version was sung by Stipe and mentions Texarkana in the lyrics , the album version is sung by Mills with Texarkana references removed

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 :(
