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 70.7/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Underrated… because it had no big hit for the mainstream audience. But "Can'tcha Say You Believe In Me" for instance stands the test of time much better than quite a lot tracks from the first two records.

After an awesome debut and a two year gap to a still pretty good sophomore effort, we waited another 8 year for... this? Egad, what a letdown. I hate it when people throw the "corporate rock" term at Boston in general, but for this album? Oh, yeah.

class band ,don,t make them like this anymore
Corporate rock at it's most mediocre.
Not nearly as good as their first two. Considering that it took eight years between their second and third albums, I would have expected much better.
One of the only classic rock albums that I like all the way through.
