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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

The commercial singles on this are instantly recognizable, but it's the other tracks that give this the credibility of whether or not it's a decent album. And a decent album it definitely is, being stacked with Rocking Bluesy tracks with a Stones swagger about them. Great album with no weak spots.
I like the keyboardist they hired for these sessions - apparently he worked with the Allman Brothers and Rolling Stones - the organ and piano help make this a pretty good album instrumentally. I also liked the bluesy guitar and vocal performance.

Thank god for an honest hard-rocking band amidst new wave punkers.
Holds up and sounds fresh even today. Heavy Stones and Faces influence with just a little bit of Skynyrd and Guns and Roses. It's good beyond the singles.

One of the best albums of 1990. One of the best southern rock albums ever. After much of the music released in the New Wave 80s, this was a breath of fresh air. We were exposed to real rock music again!
