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 4% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.5.

They made a couple of great tracks, but they especially stood out for their sound. There was nothing in the mid-sixties quite as heavy as The Yardbirds.
Never quite as good as they should have been with the band members they had. However, a lot of good individual tracks without ever making a classic album. They spawned Led Zeppelin,so for that we should be grateful.
Typical 60's band
And this, kids, is the band where guitarists went to become gods. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page are all on their resume'.
