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 74.8/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.6.

Not many memorable tracks, but the ones that are memorable are great works.

Genuinely good band. Not super flashy or impressive, but a solid 80s new wave act.
