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 69.6/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Definitely the best Aerosmith album (that sums up what the band has always been about). Get A Grip is also the best selling Aerosmith album and this album was definitely the peak of their second commercial era that started with 1987’s Permanent Vacation and lasted until 2001’s Just Push Play.

While bands of the 90’s at the time like Nirvana and Pearl Jam hated their new found commercial success and both bands begun to steer their music away from the mainstream in 1993 with albums like In Utero and Vs., Aerosmith whole heartedly embraced commercialization (like they always have) and filled the gaping void both Seattle bands were leaving in the Early-90’s.

Anyways, this album and its success is proof that not everyone in the 90’s wanted to listen to bands that did nothing but stare at their feet and whine about “life sucks” and how hard it is to be a rockstar. And if you’re a big Aerosmith fan and a fan of good classic mainstream arena rock, you can’t go wrong with this album.

My album has 'Can't Stop Messin' as track 13, my favourite track on the album! (By quite a way). Not my favourite Aerosmith album otherwise, the ballads don't help.

Decent album, but this marked the beginning of the end for Aerosmith's creativity.

An enjoyable album, but for a rock band Aerosmith were now becoming better at doing ballads. Cryin', crazy, and, amazing, are easily the best tracks on the album. This is unfortunately something that would become a habit with Aerosmith. Still, its a good record, just a little bit too commercial.

Great hard rock/blues rock album. Best 10 songs average is 95,7/100 and the album can get great 95/100. I love it and I can't count how many times I've listened to it. Full scoring: "Livin' on the edge" + "Cryin'" + "Crazy" + "Amazing". Followed by "Eat the rich" 90/100. Notable is also the good instrumental song "Boogie man". Well, let's listen to the album one more time...
