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 81.5/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.0.

One of the best hard rock/metal groups ever. Blackmore is one of the very best guitarists ever. My only complaint is that their discography is inconsistent. (Edited)
One of the best band ever in hard rock
The first incarnation will always be my favorite, though Mk II released some good albums as well.

I love Deep Purple. They helped create hard rock, that alone makes them one of the greatest of all time.
