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.
One of the greatest new wave bands, bar none.
They're more than Eileen, but that song was ridicilously excellent anyway
I don't get why the ratings for the albums are so low.. they're quite phenomenal works.
Come on Eileen has been in my ears since...

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
