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 81.2/100, a mean average of 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.3.

Ian Anderson is the Tom Bombadil of pop music - utterly weird, totally fascinating, sometimes boring, and of course unique. Their records vary wildly in style, and sadly quality. Albums such as 'Aqualung', 'Heavy Horses' and 'Thick as a Brick' are brilliant classics of musicianship and lyricism. But their slump into hard rock mediocrity in the 80s, the damage to Anderson's vocal cords and their wonky ventures into electronica make them as infuriating as enjoyable.
How is Thick as a Brick the highest? Aqualung is so much better than that, I would have thought more people would have put that in their charts. I'll go and put it there now. Stormwatch is also great, Home especially.
We are in a post string instrument age. No more will we have string quartets. Woodwinds like Saxophone and this band (flute) will dominate the music scene. Even more than instruments whose sounds come out of speakers!

Jethro Tull where amazing in the late 60s and early 70s. Stand Up, Aqualung and Thick as a Brick are timeless classics.
Just discovered this band... So excited, hopefully they will be my new favorite someday!
