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 82.8/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.3/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.0.

Best album: Being There
And it's not really that close. The album can tend to speed up and slow down, but most Wilco albums do that anyways.
I really love this band. YHF is one of the best albums of the 2000s; Summerteeth is not that great, but still pretty enjoyable, and, even though A Ghost Is Born can be a little hard to swallow sometimes, it hides true gold beneath its surface. It's one of the best modern rock bands out there, along with Radiohead(ok, maybe not THAT good), AF, The Strokes, Modest Mouse, the Black Keys and some post-punk revival guys. Nowadays, not many bands are this solid and awesome.

Man, I love the hell out of this band. YHF and Summerteeth are required listening.

Whenever I listen to a Wilco album I never feel like I'm enjoying it. But as it starts to wind down I always feel sad, and a few days later I'll feel the need to come back to it. Great band, you never know what you're going to get with them.

America's answer to Radiohead. They're critics darlings who've never made the same album twice, while continuing to challenge the confines of the genre they work in. Jeff Tweedy continues to combine perfect melodies with thoughtful lyrics, while his immensely talented bandmates transform the songs into something familiar but unique

My second favorite band. Wilco is truly artistic and free of corporate restrictions. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is a brilliant album which in time I hope will amount to a classic.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
