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)

My favourite find of 2018.

As raucous as they are heartfelt, as nuanced as they are rampant; an astonishing combination of state-of-the-times thinking with a unique post-punk-hardcore sound. Few bands of recent times have managed to be so potently on point yet also so originally loud.
