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 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

I like well played and good sounding music, the band performs well and that is enough for me. No self-indulgent goofiness or dissonant tunes, just clean and simple. I luv it.

I rated this 90/100. Highlights are radio staples, "Time for Me to Fly" and "Roll with the Changes." The best deep cut is "Blazin' Your Own Trail Again." The album cover and title are fun and it should definitely be in the Top 10 of 1978.

REOs best. It does a pretty good job of straddling the line between real rock and roll and arena rock for the mindless masses.

An average album when comparing against other great albums, but this is definitely REO's best album.

The first two tracks are so killer that the rest of it seems kind of average by comparison.
