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 78.6/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 14.8.

Great band, deserve more exposure.
Outside of the Smiths my favourite pop band of the eighties. Hard to hunt down any act after the Beatles where two singer songwriters shined and complemented each other like Forster and McClennan. 16LL, Liberty Belle and Before Hollywood are uniformly brillant and Tallulah is a fine album as well. An excellent compilation was released not long after their first incarnation I think called 1979-90 and released in Japan. 30 glistening gems with roughly 1/3 or so of the tracks unreleased. Had it on cassette but these 100 min cassette tapes they never lasted long.
One of Australia's best bands. They have produced so many great albums, it's hard to pick a favourite.
