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 2% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 82.7/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.5.

The tirade of Gish, Siamese Dream, and Mellon Collie is legendary

First 4 albums were very good and Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie are must listens. They weren't able to sustain greatness though.
P.S Chamberlin is a beast

A lot of great songs, but a lot that I'll stray away from. Their two best albums are in my favorites all-time, so I'm glad Smashing Pumpkins exist. But I don't care for their work post-hiatus.
Excellent album, only discovered it recently but it blew me way. Special mentions to Luna and Space Boy which are now both in my sleeping playlist. Will be in my top 100 once I unlock that.
Did you know that when touring Devon (UK) Billy put on a local accent and performed that night as The Smashing Bumkins

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 :(
