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)

Wonderful band that made better use of the guitar than any other prog band! Even when some of their later stuff got less "proggy" and more hard rock or bluesy, I kept listening because I wanted to hear what they could do with the guitar, and they always did something spectacular!
So glad I discovered this band!! Such great rock n roll music, and those guitars man!
Where has this band been my entire life? On just a few listens, Argus and There's the Rub have become two of my favorite albums, and both their self-titled and Pilgrimage are pretty great too. More exploring for me to do, but I'm absolutely in love with what I've found so far. You probably won't find many bands that make better use of the guitar than Wishbone Ash.
AT THEIR PEAK THEY WRE AWESOME.
BEST HARMONY GUITAR BAND EVER!
