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 75.7/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.3.

Never got the run it deserved. This CD's a jam from start to finish - Divine Intervention and Girlfriend stand out. Try it!

"Girlfriend" is a helluva track. If you find that you like Matthew Sweet (and there is a lot to like in his music), seek out the album 100% FUN, UNDER THE COVERS, VOL. 1 (w/ Susanna Hoffs!), and EARTH (with the absolutely incredible track "Children of Time (Forever)." All three of those albums are as good (or, maybe even better) than the ones listed here.
