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 84.8/100, a mean average of 84.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 13.8.

Sadly overshadowed by the brilliance of My Bloody Valentine, but just as important to shoegaze thanks to Neil Halstead's phenomenal songwriting
They are the only shoegaze band that rivaled My bloody Valentine that too with a different sound. Soulvaki IS SUPERIOR to Loveless is many aspects. (Edited)
This is the band with whom I have the most emotional connection. Beautiful. (Edited)
I was way too late to find this band. I might actually prefer them to MBV... (Edited)
Pure genius, the second best shoegazing album of course behind Loveless. 10/10 and easily Slowdive's best album.
