Rating metrics: Help 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 72.2/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

A Classic of Heartland rock. "Cuts Like A Knife", "Straight From The Heart", "The Best Was Yet To Come" and plenty of other tunes that filled FM radio back in the. Many teenagers came of age to the music of Bryan Adams. Why does excessive commercial success have to equal poor quality? In my eyes - it doesn't.

This was actually his third album. But it's the first one the made him popular. It has a strong set of songs, particularly tracks 3, 4, and 5.

A good debut from a fresh face. Bryan Adams looks about 12 on this album, but has already mastered catchy pop-rock. Decent, but not deep.

Not a bad debut album - it delighted the (female) fans in its day with some safe, romantic music. Not the most thought-provoking lyrics ever, but that never was Adams' deal.
