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 22% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 11.2.

Sorry, but after seeing the tour for each of the albums (from The Circus through Cowboy, anyway), I can't separate the quality of the albums from their respective performances. And by that metric, it's a toss-up between WILD! and CHORUS, for me. But sure, should THE CIRCUS, THE INNOCENTS, & I SAY I SAY I SAY be in the conversation? Of course.

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 :(
