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 83.4/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.2.

I want os say they are on eof my favorite bands, but three albums doesn´t seem to be enough, as good as they are.

My only complaint is I wish they were more prolific. I WANT MORE PORTISHEAD MUSIC!

Haunting music, haunting voice, haunting lyrics. I listen and drift into a daze...
beautiful and imaginative
One of my favourites. They continue to refine and reinvent their sound which so few bands are capable of.

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 :(
