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 6% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.3.

2 Albums superbes (Black Market Music et Without You I'm nothing) , les autres un cran en dessus mais je les écoutes toujours avec plaisir ,même le dernier Loud Like Love
Great band! Love all their albums, many great singles. Without You I'm Nothing is probably my favourite album by them. Well worth listening to.

Highly Enjoy This Band...some songs are different, but altogether for me they have a good track record
Top band - some high quality albums - engaging lyrics, music & rhythms

Every now and then I find myself in a Placebo mood and have to listen to them all day. Their sound holds up well today and the sense of existential suffering is a cathartic release for many who enjoy their stuff. I’ve always struggled to fully engage in whole albums though. I prefer to let shuffle do its job and will often be drawn to a track playing and say to myself, “shit that song is better than I gave it credit for”. Their latest offering, Never Let Me Go is one of the better releases from a 90s band that I’ve heard in recent times. (Edited)
