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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist is rated in the top 1% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 83.0/100, a mean average of 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.1.

"So" is most infuentual album for Russian musical producers. They say that Peter Gabriel is a guru of sound. When I listen to Red Rain its sometimes makes me cry, this song is absolutely genius, well I'm not big fan of Genesis or Peter Gabriel, but I'm finally understand that Gabriel is a God of atmospheric music!

Underrated. I can't belive what I'm saying, but Gabriel is terribly underrated.

I really love everything up through Peter Gabriel IV. After that it gets hit-or-miss. The last few albums have disappointed me. Seems like he's out of juice.

Did you know that at a certain time of year Pete likes to dress as a swan and intimidate Shepherds with complex lighting effects?
