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 81.6/100, a mean average of 80.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.2.

Unique band with a unique sound. Hard to find fault with their catchy pop style. Particularly like Standin' in the rain.
Great progressive pop band, especially in their orchestral heyday. But why are their two best albums, A New World’s Record and Face the Music, ranked #4 and #6, respectively, on this site? Records like Time and Discovery aren’t terrible but were definitely produced on the way down the slope.

I discovered ELO in the late 70s. My first album was of course "out of the blue". I bought the disc because of the cover. The music I did not like at first very much. Hear after several had the ELO-virus detected in me....
I find it impossible to skip any song from any album from On the Third Day through Time.
I have a very big sentiment to this band. One of my favourite.
