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)

As always his guitar playing is sublime but his solo albums lack the magic of his best work with the Floyd and much of his work is a bit repetitive and he takes few risks
Better with Pink Floyd than solo. But nowadays he has a very good live concerts

His work on Pink Floyd is genious, but solo work is a bit boring.
