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 81.3/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.9.

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

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.
