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 12% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.5.

Danish prog / power pop, anyone? Very unusual band with a real eclectic mixture of styles. Frengers is epic.

I wouldn't put them into just one category either, they're indeed capable of making more than just one kind of music and aren't afraid of experimenting. Very good band!
