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 11% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.5.

Great band, loved fish voice
1. misplaced childhood
2. clutching at straws
3. Script for jesters tears
4. Fugazi
They are the best band since The Beatles because of how many influences they combined into a really unified sound.

Best with Fish , but with Hoggarth they're very good
First 4 albums with fish are cool ... if he does not leave this band she would be the best band ever
One of the best ever...in Era Fish
It's true that their 82-87 days were more consistently high quality, and their music did take a dive in the early 90s. However I think by that point Marillion had lost many of their fans, who ought to rediscover some of the phenomenal music they have made in the last 10/15 years. Sure, it's more sparse, but they seem to have found the way of making perfect emotional rock songs.

83-87 were the best.
I also prefer Fish' vocals and lyrics. I find them special. But I must say that Hogarth's era have released quality material which isn't all pop. Check Marbles or Sounds that can't be made for example, and I have heard that Brave is great too.
Pretty much agree with Robert. The Fish era and the first Hogarth album are all classics. After that, it's kind of hit or miss. They were kinda Genesis clones (much like Muse sounded a lot like Radiohead for a while) but with a 80s alternative flavor. Still great though :)
My rating is for the Fish era Marillion - unfortunately, in my opinion, neither Marillion nor Fish solo were the same afterwards...
