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)

In my school, students could play classical music records at the start and end of assembly. My friend and I chose this thinking in our juvenile naivety that it was classical because it had no words. The headteacher was NOT impressed.
I actually like the idea of a nice long instrumental track following Tommy's visit to the Acid Queen. Some nice stuff here, and as always I enjoy Keith's drumming. However, it feels to me like they held back a bit here and really missed a chance to create something magical.

Padding, too long, too boring. Underwhelmed.
This song's way too long. Many people listening to this ROCK OPERA would want the next part of the story instead of a ten-minute instrumental.

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 :(
