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 2% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 82.5/100, a mean average of 82.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 14.6.

I've only heard a few of their albums - Modern Life, S/T and 13 - but Blur make exactly the sort of music I find myself most drawn to: eclectic pop/rock music with dense and detailed production/arrangements, and clever writing, with plenty of weird, quirky details and experimental touches to sink my teeth into. They're accessible, yet always interesting and always experimenting. Great band that I'm looking forward to exploring in more depth!

In a quick span of time (half a year), Blur has arisen to be one of my favorite bands. Even more so than Radiohead to be utterly honest. <3 Good memories with their music.

One of the best band of the 90s (2nd best British after Radiohead for me), unlike many of their Britpop contemporaries they experimented with their sound on every record, which showed them to not be a one trick pony like Oasis were

Awesome band. This and Gorillaz solidify Damon Albarn as one of my favorite musicians.
