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 11% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 8.8.

EXTREMELY talented vocalist and pianist! If you like Elton John, Billy Joel, Adam Sandler, Bruce Springsteen, the 90s, or the piano, treat yourself to this guy's songs. He can hit home, he can hit your funny bone, he can hit you in the face (and sometimes, all in one song).

Don't understand why he's never caught on with the internet music snob. Catchy when he wants to be, meaningful when he wants to be, silly when he wants to be. What's not to like?
