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 has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.5.

Never really got on with the White stripes but I do like Jack White's solo work and I absolutely love this lot...

I like the White Stripes. I like Blunderbuss. The Raconteurs have never captured my imagination.

I guess you have to like The White Stripes better (being that they are just epic) but this band is an excellent outfit. Brendan Benson is a stellar partner for JW, and his work here makes me want to check out his solo stuff. Both Racs' albums are so good.

I still think that Consolers of the Lonely is one of the best albums out there. I don't care what you think.
