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 69.8/100, a mean average of 68.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

First half is pretty good, second half is just alright. Overall good, but not great. MTV came along at the perfect time for him though, as he was able to use it to promote this album and the next with (now classic) videos, including ones from Generation X.
Stand out tracks "White wedding", "Love calling" and "Hot in the city". The rest mediocre.

Cemented Billy Idol as a pop-punk superstar. Better than you'd think.
