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 82.4/100, a mean average of 80.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.3/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 21.8.

“I too, have just began to dig deeper into metal. It's been one hell of a ride. It may make sense to stick to one subgenre at a time to see what sticks.

Currently best band of the world. They have been regular album after album since mid nineties and have edited masterpieces in different genres, Black Metal, Death Metal, Prog Rock and Prog Metal. Damnation is their most accessible album if you want to introduce to their sometimes aggressive sound.

Incredible band, the full embodiment of the term "progressive". Easily one of the greatest metal outfits, rock outfits and progressive outfits in history.
