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 2% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 80.7/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.3.

Terribly under-rated by this website. A significant R&B act that released hit after hit album of incredible quality. Maurice White was a genius. Get any of their albums and prepare to dance your ass off.

Brilliant band. Very overlooked on this website.

Fantastic band - the very genre defining band of what would later inspire disco greats like Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers, the list goes on and on! =)

An indication of their quality lies in the number of times they've been sampled by others. Decent 70s R&B.
