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 5% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 10.7.

Great band. Forget deserter's songs (which is pretty good). all is dream and secret migration are just awesome. Damn good live band as well - not the mellow evening you might expect.

I heard these guys support Coldplay at a concert and my wife and our friend all wondered at the same time "what the heck!!!" My friend, who thought they were as weird as we did, later went away and listened to some (he obviously wanted to give a fairer view. Thats his style.) When he played me their music I liked is much more (maybe coz I was giving them more of a chance outside of my Coldplay thinking). But I enjoyed them. I really did. Curious to hear more, though.
