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 70.7/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.9.

Asia shot out of the box rip roaring with hits - but descended quickly into a cloud of dust. That first album has all you really need from this group.

In a world of new wave, early rap, heavy metal, and Top 40 fluff, Asia rose up with their self-titles debut that blew everything else out of the water. Asia was formed by veteran prog rockers John Wetton (King Crimson, Roxy Music, and Uriah Heep), Steve Howe (Yes), Geoff Downes (Buggles, Yes), and Carl Palmer (ELP, Atomic Rooster, Crazy World of Arthur Brown) and even though the line-up has changed many times, excellence is always to be had. This is truly an infectious band whose music demands attention and just oozes with importance. I love 'em!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
