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 3% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.6.

A 79/100 for a band that has their top 20 tracks at 85+ is a little bit low, don't you think?
The albums are poorly rated too, I mean, look at the average rating of the songs inside of each album (86, 84, 84, 83, 83), and then look at the album ratings (83, 79, 78, 75, 74). That doesn't make any sense.
I'm beginning to think that people on this website hate Arctic Monkeys...
Possibly my favourite band. First album is so high energy and perfect. Second is pretty close too. I'm not quite as keen on Humbug but I still love it, especially the darkness of tracks like Dangerous Animal and Crying Lightening and the more emotional Cornerstone which follows through on Suck It And See which I love. AM can be a bit boring for me at times but still great song writing. Can't wait to hear their 6th album.

They kept getting more and more poppy (in a bad way), until AM. That album is so polarising it hurts. Some fantastic singles, but you listen to it twice and start exploring the layers, lyrics and songs deeper just to realise there's nothing below the surface. Still good riffs and miles better than other pop rock bands
Tremendous indie band. "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" and "AM" are easily two of the best albums I've heard from the past fifteen years.
First 3 albums are pretty great,especially their debut,but afterwards...,They're pretty mediocre. They have lost their charm and energy and just seem boring and even a bit pretentious.
