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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.1/100, a mean average of 65.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.3/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 20.7.

The Bat Out of Hell Series is classic. Everything else is filler.
Albums with at least some Jim Steinman involvement are pretty good. Those albums that dont have his involvement though tend to be mediocre at best.
there's good cheese and bad cheese

Cornball. But somehow he has some charm. Maybe his acting redeems his music.
