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)

Their first 3 albums are essential masterpieces. I haven't heard the rest yet. This group is unbelievably powerful. One of the best bands in all genres.

If only they could have repeated the explosion of fresh positive energy on Three Feet High... they could have been on par with Tribe Called Quest. Instead, they have one brilliant album and a bunch of middling stuff.
