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 11% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.0.

A perfect example a band that never fixed what wasn’t broken. (Edited)

For better or worse, AC/DC ('Acca Dacca') are an Australian institution. For 50 years, they've been steadfastly committed to the raucous spirit of rock n' roll. That has meant that they haven't really changed over that time, still pumping out songs that rock and groove irresistibly but have lyrics as deep as a puddle; they have met with a lot of flack for this, much of it warranted: their albums largely sound the same, whether Bon Scott or Brian Johnson is singing. Their lyrics are often sexist, but nevertheless have a bawdy, tongue-in-cheek humour which can be endearing. An AC/DC song is great fun, and the Young brothers wrote some absolutely immortal riffs before Malcolm's death, and as long as you go in without an expectation of anything deep or thought-provoking, AC/DC are deserving of their reputation, even on the basis of the albums Highway to Hell and Back in Black alone (which are the band at the peak of their powers, and represent their best work with Bon Scott and Brian Johnson respectively - HtH being their last with Bon, and BiB being their first with Brian!) (Edited)
Yes a lot of their records can sound formulaic and I feel you probably only really need to own one or two of their albums but their live shows look and sound incredible (check out the Buenos Aires one in 2009) and I also respect the fact they don't take themselves too seriously at all (Edited)
One of the greatest band that I have seen live. Saw them once, when bon was still with us, and it was incredible. So charismatic. What a night which I still remember vividly 45 year ps later (Edited)
