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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

What a debut! Foreigner's first release is consistent, well-executed and full of great songs, including a handful of rock radio classics (Cold as Ice, Feels Like the First Time, Fool for you Anyway). Although their sound evolved with the coming years and decade, Foreigner left a mark on the musical world right from the start with this self-titled release.

This is one of those albums that you enjoy listening to late at night at a moderate volume. With the exception of two songs, the entire album is a master piece.

Though corny and obvious at times, with some drivel ("Headknocker," "Fool for You Anyway"), Foreigner's debut holds up surprisingly well. "Long, Long Way from Home" is wonderful—probably my favorite song of theirs—and the first three tracks are top-notch. If you like seventies power pop, Foreigner at their best can be pretty irresistible.
