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 72.4/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Not as good as the four that preceded it, but definitely different. Crazy Little Child has a great 1920s feel and The Man With the Golden Gun is an odd choice of songs to cover. Workin' Up a Sweat, Teenage Lament and Muscle of Love are the best tracks.

I like this album better than School's Out. I think that record has some standout and very Alice tracks, but there are a lot of themes executed more effectively and efficiently on Muscle of Love in my opinion and the production is better. Muscle of Love, for me, is more focused in its ambitions. I think this is one of the underrated Alice Cooper albums.
Quite underrated as far as Alice Cooper albums go. Every song ranges from excellent to solid, and there are plenty of flashes at here foreshadowing to the song-and-dance-themed direction that Alice would take on the next record, his debut solo album Welcome to My Nightmare. (Edited)

Love it! Not as heavy but I still really enjoy it. Definitely underrated in the Cooper discography.
It's got a cool sound to it.
