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 1% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 87.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 12.6.

After his death, there was a group that began quite literally worshipping him as God incarnate, and he is now officially recognized as a Saint by the African Orthodox Church. If that doesn't say anything about the quality of his music, I don't know what does.

Cuando pienso en los más grandes artistas del jazz, dos nombres se me vienen de inmediato a la mente antes que cualesquiera otros: Charles Mingus y John Coltrane. Genios inigualables.
