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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.5/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

Have you ever heard an album that is nearly a "Greatest Hits" in its own?
Well, THIS is one of those very few albums that have to be honoured that way. In fact this album has an impressive record: 6 singles made the top 15 in the US, a record only equalled with Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. How can you not have this album!
The songs speak for themselves: 'One Night Love Affair', 'Run To You', 'Somebody', 'Summer of '69', etc. This is one-in-a-lifetime classic hard rock album. Do yourself a favour, get it and have a good time. It was indeed "the best days of my life" for many, many people.
Cheers.

80s pop rock at its best. I’ve heard this hundreds of times but still reach for it. Some level of inebriation is recommended to achieve best results.
My sister had this way back in 84 and I liked the singles and album at the time. I never listened to it again until I got it in 2016 and the tunes came back thick and strong. There might be emotional points tied up in this but I think that the songs stand up well like Summer Of 69, Run To You and Heaven amongst others whilst the track She's Only Happy When She's Dancin' is only disappointment I can find here
Ok so the nostalgia might be affecting my rating - this is what my parents played 10000 times while I was growing up, but the feel good rock anthems on this project truly have stood the test of time. "Heaven", "Kids Wanna Rock", "Summer of 69"... the list goes on. It is really rare that an album has so many songs that several generations can recite from memory. Definitely a very special album, although not the most "complex"
9/10
It Rocks !!!
