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 6% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.8.

I wish Connor Oberst got more love on this site.
This is a wonderful band with such an authentic sound and passionate playing. They stand out as original in the modern wave of folk.

Really loved them after I'm Wide Awake It's Morning. Truly fell head over heels in love with them after When The President Talks to God. Decided they were one of my favorite bands ever after finding out that When The President Talks to God is free and always will be.
