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)

Just shove an album in the car and drive
So good and should've been so big
A criminally overlooked band. At first listen the vocals may seem off-putting, but it doesn't take long before you realise how they add to the whole galaxie 500 ambiance.
For me, they are the essential shoegaze band.
