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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Probably their heaviest album and one of the best. Lancaster made his mark and co-wrote six of eight songs on this album. Best song, however, is the epic Slow Train.
I Wish All Of Status Quo's Albums Sounded Like This! Features My Favourite Quo Single "Break The Rules" and My All-Time Favourite Quo Studio Recording "Slow Train".
The heaviest encounter by the Quo Alan Lancaster plays a big part in this album that's probably why best tracks all of side one
Alan Lancaster shines on this one singing 4 of the 8 tunes, the first two tracks being worthy of mention. Not to be outdone Francis Rossi sings 2 very good songs and Rick Parfitt proves that Status Quo isn't all about 3 chord boogie. Not the classic hits of Hello but a better record overall.
