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 26% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.7.

There was a time - mid 60's - where Donovan's lyrics and vocals could take me to places I'd never been before. He was one of my favourite artists and as I look back some 60 years later, I remember him and his impact on me and am grateful & smile.
