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 72.3/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

A really good first half (Vinyl Side 1) then it is not that great from 6-10 (Side 2). The title track and Love You Inside & Out are my favourites. Tragedy and Too Much Heaven were the big hits.

At the time of its release (1979) I loved the opening track "Tragedy" and many of the songs which followed. In 2022 upon re-listening I was at falsetto-overload before the album reached its quarter mark. The singles still had something that resonated about them, but I had a difficult time listening to the album in single listen. Funny how time changes one's perceptions.

Despite the overly disco nature, the opener kicks pretty hard. The rest of the album is an abomination, including the sappy, saccharine ballad hits.

Big hits and a few poor songs.
Three #1 hits. Not unusual for this trio. Great singles band but terrible albums. Not in this case. The 3 year delay between full length albums seems to have delivered a an album with many good tunes.
