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 85.5/100, a mean average of 83.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.8.

Firts four albums are good, the first one is amazing, But something went wrong after Reflektor.
They've made some solid albums and songs but they haven't been releasing very good albums as of recently. They also probably shouldn't be in the top ten.
Incredible band with an incredible discography. Few groups have a better first 4 albums
Better than VU?!
How is this the 8th greatest band in the world, I dont use the word overrated too much but this is taking it too far.

Top 10 band my ass. seeing those hipsters this high makes u question BEA site scoring system
I like Arcade Fire. I don't really grade who's what number for best. But recent comments suggest that their positioning is wrong. So does that mean this website calculation or methodology is wrong or the recent comments dont reflect a bigger majority?

Granted it's been a while since I've listened to Arcade Fire, but it strikes me as odd how highly ranked they are. I adore Funeral and the Suburbs, but their other material leaves me a bit cold, to be honest. That sort of consistency doesn't scream top 10 band to me! But then again, when they're good they're REALLY good, so maybe I'm just forgetting how powerful they are at their best.

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 :(
