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.

Definitely overhyped, good band, great live act, but their musical creativity and depth isn't anything really - I do like them though.

The epitome of "dumb rock and roll", great if you're looking for fun, not so much if you are looking for the meaning of life. The instrumentation (including voices) sounds always good. Having say that, I think their albums get extremely repetitive and the best way to enjoy them is to look for a "Best Of" or just hear the singles.

This has to be the most overrated band ever. The absolute worst lyrics ever conceived. Predictable songs. This band is a stereotype and a product of the machine.
The biggest difference between AC/DC and Nickelback is that these guys were around at the right time. (Edited)
Bon Scott era & Back In Black with Brian Johnson I would rate 95/100.
Rating would slip down to 60/100 after that.
As an Aussie teenager in the 70's these were a breath of fresh air in the music industry.
