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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Excellent compilation.
A nice compilation but your better off listening to the songs in context to the other material on the original records.
Good album, nice review of r.e.m early years. It's nice to listen to but it's no life changing music.
Perfect summary of their earlier work.
This CD was my first exposure to popular music. It will always be a very special album to me. It's a good overview of the I.R.S. years, but this mix of Finest Worksong is simply unlistenable for me because I hate the horns in the mix...

For the Albums from Murmur to Green, I think I would rather listen to this one, plus maybe a few missing key tracks.

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 :(
