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 2% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.9.

Four great albums within five years (74-79) is more than most can claim. (Edited)

Supertramp is one of my absolute favourite bands of all time. Their Crime Of The Century - Crisis? What Crisis? - Even In The Quietest Moments - Breakfast In America suite is one of the greatest ever. However, before those four albums, they were boring, and after, they weren't very good anymore.
Their career reminds me of The Kinks', somehow : the first few albums contain bland music (prog for Supertramp, rock 'n' roll for The Kinks), then they give birth to four masterpieces in a row, then one or two correct albums (...Famous Last Words... for Supertramp, Lola and Muswell Hillbillies for The Kinks), and finally they fall miserably into a pompous and uninteresting parody of themselves.
Supertramp made some of the best music of the 1970s. Their debut eponymous album gave us a glimpse of what was to come, but their 3rd album 'Crime of the Century' gave it us with both barrels. Cleverly constructed songs, wonderful arrangements and fantastic production. Each member of the quintet was an integral part of their sound, from Siebenberg's solid and intricate drumming, Thomson's bass grooves and Helliwell's beautiful reed work, to the bluesy Davies' piano/organ, vocals and harmonica and Hodgson's more ethereal and pop oriented vocals, keyboards and guitar. The sum was more than the parts and once they stopped singing off the same hymn sheet, the magic was lost. (Edited)
If I had to say what is the most underrated band on BEA, I’ll say Supertramp. IMO its a classic band, one the best.
Crime of the Century and Even in the Quietest Moments are masterpieces of prog rock. Breakfast in America is unique record with incredible songs in it. Crisis? What Crisis ? is a good album completing their awesome string of 4 great records.
Supertramp is an original band. No 70s bands sounds like them. They have complicated piano parts, saxophone and also two lead singers, just like The Beatles, who both have recognizable voice and incredible range.
It’s so sad and happy at the same time: it’s full of emotions, it’s Supertramp. (Edited)
