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)

Great band, especially Dear Science

Terrific band. Dear Science one of my favorites. Everything until Seeds was phenomenal and Seeds had its moments as well. If that's their worst (or my least favorite at least) then they're one heck of band.

Two phenomenal albums, one great album, and one very good album. Definitely one of the most interesting bands of the last decade; it's really hard to describe their sound but they have a sound that is distinctly theirs. The nuances of their music means catching something new on every listen.
Great music!
