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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

I notice a lot of similarities to Black Keys, and some White Stripes. The vocalist reminds me of the front man from Cage the Elephant, which bothers me since I find CTE really annoying most of the time; it's not their fault, they were around way before CTE.
Anyway, it's catchy, and upbeat, but there's too much effect on the vocals, and a heavy amount of distortion that takes away from the music in this case.
I've never been able to get into this band. A lot of the elements are there, and I like them a little but there's something about the music that always sends me the other way. I think its the clean, commercial production.
The best track is 'No. 1 Party Anthem', it has some musical nods to The Beatles, and Queen.

Good uncomplicated rhythmic tracks but in no way basic. Chugs along nicely right through. The tracks do start to sound quite similar though. Good but doesn't overly suck you in. (Edited)

Direct and catchy. Also a lot smoother than their previous work.
Arctic Monkeys most commercially successful album shows ambition and an awareness of what music would be a success at the time sections of songs taking inspiration from hip-hop/modern drum patterns. The result is an album of catchy cool songs that still has their signature style within the lyrical delivery and content.
