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 3% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 79.9/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.5.

the Glow pt. 2 and Mount Eerie are unlike anything else. Two of the most unique albums ever. Phil is a gifted artist. I just wish he put even the slightest bit of effort into singing well.

One of my favorite artists of all time. Phil is a true lyrical genius, his ability to capture that magical element his lyrics bring is something you don't see too often
