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 7% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.6.

About once an album they pull out something like "Cellular Song," or "Dust be Diamonds," and then despite all the raggedness and dissonance, it is time to take them seriously, and I wind up having to keep four or five albums by a band that I basically don't like, when I have no shelf space to spare. Its a terrible thing, it is...

Strange how their three best songs don't register on their greatest tracks list here. I'm talking about:
Creation from Changing Horses
Darling Belle from Liquid Acrobat as regards the air
Queen Juanita and her fisherman lover from Seasons they change

So sad that more people aren't aware of these amazing masterpieces.

Underrated. Awsome band. It's sad to see that other folk things like Dylan stay in the popular eye, but this just fades.
