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 81.1/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.0.

R.I.P Chris and Soundgarden

IMO, the best and by far tho most interesting of the Seattle grunge scene.

I have the feeling that most people who have rated them below 80 haven't properly given them a chance. Not only one of the best voices ever, but also one of the most interesting and best bands of the 90s.

Badmotorfinger is flawless, great band all around, loved them since I was 15.

Today has been strange. Today has been a day I won't forget.
I was supposed to see Soundgarden this Friday (5/19/17) for the first time. My all time favorite voice in rock and one of my all time favorite bands. It was beyond a shock to wake up to the news of Chris Cornell's passing. Whether or not you consider yourself a Soundgarden fan, or even listened to his music that much, there is no denying the pulverizing power, grace, dynamics, and charisma in that guy's voice. Not to mention his gift for arranging songs and writing brilliant hooks and often times comically profound lyrics.
I felt his soul in his voice. It's tough to comes to terms with the fact that voice is gone.
Arguably the greatest voice in rock history. RIP Chris Cornell.
Fell on black days. RIP Chris Cornell.
check "temple of the dog" as well if you like these guys
Although they're my least favorite of the big 4 grunge bands, I still really like Soundgarden. Cornell is an incredibly gifted singer & songwriter. Only thing I don't really like about them is that they got a lot of filler on their albums.
Favorite songs: Fell On Black Days, Rusty Cage, The Day I Tried To Live, Spoonman
I love King Animal, I mean love all of it. I've Been Away For Too Long is a great tune, watch it live on Jools Holland! I like Superunknown too. Shame they disappeared for 15 years or so though, could have released more quality.
