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)

Primus definitely should be rated higher than they are. I haven't heard anything bad from them yet. Their music is some of the most unique music ever made. Les is the bass god, Ler is great guitarist too, adding a psychedelic vibe, and Herb is a great drummer too. Their live shows are beyond amazing too! Totally underrated on this page. Frizzle Fry is my favorite album by them. Primus Sucks! (Edited)

Primus fucking sucks. (Edited)
OnaterOne of the best power trios out there. They're funky as hell, and Claypool is a true virtuoso. LaLonde is a very intriguing guitarist, incorporating a variety of avant garde-style guitar techniques. And the gauntlet of drummers that have worked with the band have all been tight, groovy, technical, and powerful.

One of the most unique bands in history. Not always my favorite but respect at the highest level for them. Pork Soda especially was truly great.
