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)

One of the weaker songs on the album. It continues the slow and trippy feel of the last song, but a bit weaker this time. Still really great though.
One of the weaker songs on the album.
I do not enjoy the singing too much, but the lyrics are great.
A weak track that doesn't really go anywhere. True he doesn't have the best singing voice but you don't need that if delivered well - this just feels unfinished
This isn't a stab Ian Curtis or Joy Division, but this song really showcases his terrible voice.
throwaway track
A story of someone crawling out of a hole.
It's alright

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 :(
