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 87.0/100, a mean average of 85.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 14.1.

Love their distinctive sound. Had LA Woman and The Doors for decades, but looking forward to expanding my collection in the coming weeks.
What a unique band ! One of my favourites. Their string of 6 albums 1967-1971 is amazing.
The best.

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 :(
