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 1% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 83.1/100, a mean average of 81.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.4/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.1.

I never met Geddy, Alex, & Neal but I feel like I know them really well. That may sound corny but I have enjoyed their music beginning sometime in the 70’s. They have been a part of my life. They have been kinda like friends. Friends that have always been there when needed. Haha that sounds really corny.
A message to all of the haters….You either love Rush or you don’t. Go ahead and hate all you want. Speaking for all who love Rush…we don’t give a fuck. So quit your whining. (Edited)
These guys are so musically talented, but i'm not impressed by a lot of their work. I would say Moving pictures and 2112 are fantastic releases.

The second 'heavy' band after Led Zeppelin that I got into. I first bought Archives when I was 13 or so. I just love this band. My favourite Rush album is probably All The Words A Stage. I've loved it from a young age. Favourite studio album would be Moving Pictures with Permanent Waves close on its heels.
One of my favorite bands of all time. Been on board with them since Permanent Waves. A tremendous catalog filled with smart, creative and rocking material. RIP GOAT.
