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 70.5/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Short, solid album. The ballads are just as good as the rockers on this one.

Best song(s): Hot Stuff; Hand of Fate; Fool to Cry

This is an underrated album. It's often considered forgettable, but I think this is a pretty consistent album in terms of the quality of the tracks. The album is very much influenced by reggae-rock with some funk, blues and disco thrown in there. Less rock n' roll than I would've liked, but overall I liked this album.

"Black and blue" è un disco che non ti prende subito anche per l'assenza di un vero hit, ma quando ti conquista è per sempre.
