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 17% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.0.

Unfortunately a very overlooked metal band. Wheels Of Steel and Strong Arm Of The Law are some of the best metal albums ever.
Favorite songs: Motorcycle Man, 747 (Strangers in the Night), Dallas 1 PM

One of the most under appreciated metal bands. I love that they dressed like normal dudes on stage but still put on a show. Metallica opened for these guys early on and they've influenced countless other bands.
I have a 3 disc greatest hits collection. They have some great songs and it is a shame they have been forgotten while others like Iron Maiden can draw arena size crowds to this day. I will get around to some studio albums proper some day. See what order the songs were meant to go.
It is a shame this band has never found much success in the United States.They continue to be one of hard rock and metal's best bands.
This band is great! Been listening to them alot, best NWOMBH band! Their newer cd's as "The Inner Sanctum" and "Battalions Of Steel" is recommended.

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 :(
