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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 20.5.

Giving them 5 stars just to get them off #666 in the rankings. 😱 (Edited)

Such a mixed bag, this band could soar to astonishing artistic heights, or turn out some of the most miserable dreck in music. Focusing on just the good stuff is improtant with this band.
This band was an eye opener for me and really got me interested in non-classical music

Yeah, no... (Edited)
From 1975 to 1979 they released 5 really good albums. The rest of their stuff has been pretty inconsistent. The Grand Illusion is their best and most cohesive album. Other than that they seem to be more of a greatest hits band.
