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 5% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.8/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 8.7.

A really good punk rock band with country type of roots. Some would call it Cow Punk but I find that's a wack description for such a good band. The only thing negative I can say is a lot of the lesser known songs can sound the same for people who arent fans. But most of their records are really solid. No Pink Floyd genius but all around good stripped down rocknroll.

I only got into Social Distortion Seven or Eight Years ago but they had an immediate impact on me and I just wanted to hear everything they had done, love the way they brought country and old time rock n roll influences into their original punk rock style and Mike Ness is a hugely talented song writer.

Uneven band that has created some really great albums like Prison Bound & Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell as well as albums like White Light that did nothing for me. When they're at the top of their game, magic happens.
The greatest punk band ever and one of my favourite rock 'n' roll artists. Just wonderful music.
