Rating metrics: Help 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 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 12.3.

I miss the times I had when I discovered her music, alone in the 2020 pandemic and discovering new music, her music will always have a spot in my heart.

Calling it now: in a few years, she's gonna reinvent herself and release an album that sounds like nothing else and goes on to be seen as one of the best albums of the generation.

Good songs and a unique style. Her first album is great, one of my favorites. The last one (Melodrama) is decent.

She truly is fantastic for a mainstream act. Probably the only pop star of the 21st century that I actually like. She's an old soul, the new Janis Joplin perhaps.

Stripped down Art-Pop with Blues chord progressions, Jazzy Mixolydian keys, and topped off with a rich, deep voice that's about 10 years beyond her age. Mainstream success was an ironic fate for someone who fought mainstream so hard with her poignant lyrics. (Not sure if she actually writes them, they're credited to her and her producer, and that's normally a sign she doesn't).
