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 82.1/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.4.

One of the greatest band of all time.

I love Depeche Mode for their ingenuity and gusto for digging into painful topics, never one to turn away from difficulty. Creating elaborate melodies that range from powerful to fragile and beautiful, they've woven masterpieces that reflect over humanity and history. Nothing but admiration and love from me

One of my favourite bands ever. Complex, emotional and never a band to shy away from controversial topics. Plus a great ear for a tune and you can dance to some of their stuff.

Personally, they're not one of my favorites. However, I understand the greatness and respect they get even if they're not in my wheelhouse. Violator though is a masterpiece no matter what you think of the band.
A highly influential electronic act, I love how they began to take a darker atmosphere and darker lyrics in their music. That made them more interesting. Black Celebrations, Music For The Masses, Violater, and Songs of Faith and Devotion is their creative peak
Was one of my biggest influences in 80-90's , and still putting out quality music today
My favourite band of all time

A realy interesting band that gets underrated by none usual listeners. The more they talk about dark topics the more popular they get, this beacuse of the intense atmosphere around the deep lyrics and unique voice. While several albums are kinda mediocre, none of them is actualy bad, meanwhile their singles are allways great.
Fathers of dark pop, and best electronic band of the '80s. Mostly influenced by Kraftwerk but, on the other hand, DM influenced the whole german electronic scene. Synthpop bands as Diorama, Seabound, De/Vision, Beborn Beton, Covenant, Deine Lakaien, Wolfsheim, Rotersand etc, they wouldn't even exist if there wasn't DM. Their greatest works were between '86 and '93, and their greatest mistake...they let Alan Wilder go, in '94.

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 :(
