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 5% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 13.0.

Since I truly liked "A moon Shaped pool" I was really looking forward for this Smile project. But now, two albums in, I gotta admit its not really doing it for me... maybe I was expecting so much more from Thom and Jerry.

My comment on the Kendrick Lamar BEA page in 2019: "I wonder just how much BEA will blow up when Kendrick Lamar and Radiohead release a full length album in the same year."
Little did I know they would release albums the SAME FREAKING DAY lmao. Not quite Radiohead, I know, but hey let me pat myself on the back for a bit.
