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 74.1/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 13.0.

The original bands name was Oh My Dog. Their manager was not happy with this, but posters had already been printed so they had to think of a name with the same acronym
One of my favourite bands - Architecture & Morality in particular is a fabulous album
