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 68.6/100, a mean average of 64.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

I just purchased the remastered cd version of this today for under 5 bucks at my local Barnes and Noble. The sound is fantastic! I like almost all of the cuts on this album/cd. If you're a fan of the group, pick this one up!

The first track is classic but it's pretty average after that.

Bad Company seemed to lose some of their bluesier side with this album, maybe a reflection of the times. Not bad, but not as good as I had hoped for at the tie of its release. R&R Fantasy, Evil Wind, and Gone, Gone, Gone are the best tracks on the album, in my opinion.
