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 75.6/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.6.

Love this band. Never sure quite what they are going to come up with next.
Underrated band. Must-listen records
Pretty much every album I know from Primal Scream is a decent one, even with them going down different experimental routes. Even though I know it's not an overly popular one amongst fans, my personal favorite is Riot City Blues. Great band who's albums haven't let me down.
I really like their newer music
