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 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 21.0.

Two good albums, and the rest get subsequently worse and worse with each new release. France the Mute is a great album, 3.5/5, and one of the best of the 00's.
One of my favorite bands of the 00's, had 3 fantastic albums.
Inertiatic ESP is miles away from their best song.
Insanely talented prog for the new millennium. Love their drummer.

certainly one of the best bands of the 00s. Frances The Mute is so much underrated.

Best band of the 00's, in my opinion. They manage to make great and innovative music, always shocking and never dull. Like a modern-day King Crimson.
