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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.1/100, a mean average of 67.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Steve Vai is a talented guitarist, but his style doesn't fit in with the rest of the band. He is busy percolating and hopping from idea to idea mid-song, while the other guys in the band just seem capable of reliably plugging along. Vai doesn't show the nuance of Vandenberg who had become injured during the time between the previous tour and this recording, so Vai was a hurried replacement.

With this album, Whitesnake completed their descent into hair metal and power ballad hell. Remnants of the once great band are very hard to find here.
