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 71.8/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 14.7.

Promising start followed by a gradual descent into power ballad hell. (Edited)

Forgivable slick arena rock. So corny it's fun. (Edited)
