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)

Cool beat and a sweet chorus :)
An underrated track. I particularly enjoy the country (rhytm) and folk (accordion) elements in it. Strangely enough, it's very bright & uptempo, considering the lyric about a heavvy junkie.
Solid
More rockin' than the first three tracks.
Really unique reggae rock sound.

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 :(
