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 72.7/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 21.6.

The first album it's amazing because it's "raw" and simple, the opposite of A Rush Of Blood, who shows that a good production can do wonders... but not forever. X&Y have some good songs but in Viva la Vida the love start to fade album by album, reaching the lowest point in Ghost Stories. In A Head Full Of Dreams I can handle some songs, but in Everyday Life you can sense that not only the "love" fade away, but their creativity (or maybe you can sense it since 2005?). Music Of The Spheres to me it's just an NPC album.
One of the best bands of the 2000s, their accessibility bridged the gap between the independent scene and the mainstream

Liked the first two albums, couldn't stand them after that.
The first four albums are some of the very best the 2000s had to offer. Took a big drop off after that unfortunately...
Had they squashed their desire to be “the biggest band in the world,” they well could have been among the best.
First 2 studio releases are terrific, although derivative of The Bends-era Radiohead and especially The Man Who-era Travis.
Second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head—while great—would have been even better had they swapped the limp Green Eyes for any of the b-sides from the sessions, especially Animals, I Ran Away, and/or Crest of Waves.
Very overrated on this site (cuz they're British), they were good when they started, but then turned into mainstream garbage. I wouldn't rate them more than 75 at best (just for "A Rush Of Blood To The Head").

Parachutes is nice but a bit milquetoast. Their 2nd album is an absolute classic and one of the objectively best records ever recorded. 3rd wasnt quite as good but had the same style and some top songs, so was still amazing. Viva la Vida is the peak for me though. They were playing with creative magic in that record. Every song is so unique and ethereal and amazing. Pure bliss. Who knows what the hell happened after that though. They tarnished their opportunity to be one to the top bands of the era, but hey they have a billion listens on that Chainsmoker song on Spotify so good for them I guess. I wonder if the decision to sell out was done out of necessity because they were out of original ideas, or if they just wanted a big pay day. Hard to say
