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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Strong contender for their best album with the title track, Ain’t No Fun…, Problem Child, Big Balls and Ride On leading the way. Before there was a formula to count on these songs are fresh and pack a punch.

Great album but probably the weakest in the Bon Scott arsenal (we wont count the Australian version of High Voltage). Even on saying that it's still better and stronger than the vast majority of rock albums put out. Personal note; "Ain't no fun" is my pick for favorite AC/DC song

Prefer the International release which is not here on this website. Classic Album of the 70's.

As with T.N.T., half of this album is pure ACDC gold. Unlike T.N.T., the other half isn't great; it's... okay... It's a step back, but don't think it only goes downhill from here, because there next effort is at least 5 steps up.

Doesn't anybody else have the feeling that this album (and I don't have that with any of their other albums) sounds a lot like the typical boogie rock of Status Quo but only a bit worse.
I like it but a lot less than many other albums of theirs.
