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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

“I'm looking forward to potentially destroying '78 in the next round. Key word = potentially. You could, but you won't. I'll plan something special for you. You'll be seeing Double Vision. Well, the only "potential" in my statement is if you can even make it out of this group round. '68 and '98…”

A slight step up from the debut. Sorry to say, it would be all downhill after this one.

Another drunken karaoke gem from Foreigner. Despite the cheese, it has its charm.

This album is better than the eponymously title release in some ways - the production is beefier in the guitar area, which suits such songs like Hot Blooded, Double Vision and Lonely Children. However, it isn't quite as consistent as their predecessor as You're All I Am and I Have Waited So Long are just uninteresting.
