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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Arguably their best work they rocked really hard but added more commercial appeal which is the direction former guitarist Uli Roth didn’t want to go. They had the original guitarist Michael Schenker return and added Matthias Jabs. Favorite tunes are Loving You Sunday Morning, Another Piece of Meat, Always Somewhere and Is Anybody There?
In 1979 best albums from Rainbow, Hawkwind, Joy Division, Pink Floyd, Cure
Best albums of Scorpions 🦂 are 1sr two 🤘🏻
Alongside Blackout this is the Scorpions at their commercial best.
This seemed very promising after the -very good- opening track, but the rest of it didn't deliver the same way.

This album is very good thanks to Michael Schenker's involvement. Michael left shortly after the release on tour. Rudy, Uli & Mathias have never come close to Michael's talent.
An excellent Scorpions album with a good mix of heavy and melodic tracks. The change in guitarist saw Scorpions moving through a transition. What an album cover too, you wouldn't see a cover like that in 2018!
A new guitarist brings a welcome new sound to the band. The first classic album by the band.
A good Scorps album, yes.

Suuuch a good Scorpions album! Plus Michael Schenker was back to do some guest work on this one!!!
What a difference a new guitarist makes. Everything else was constant except Uli John Roth had left and had been replaced for recording purposes by Mathias Jabs and Michael Schenker. The production work is so much better - the guitar is a sonically more up front. But the song writing and arrangements are markedly improved from their predecessors.
Favourite tracks: Loving You Sunday Morning, Coast to Coast, Is There Anybody There?, Lovedrive and Holiday.
