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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

A rock classic. Bad company takes up where Free left off with a superb collection of bluesy rock tunes. The standouts are, can't get enough, movin' on, and the title track. Enjoyable rock'n'roll.

Well, "Can't Get Enough" is the most popular. But the title track, "Rock Steady", and "Ready For Love" are all better songs. And the vocals of Paul Rodgers make this much better.
One of the best debut albums ever. Nothing fancy, just solid rock with great guitar riffs, hammering drums, and the vocals of the greatest rock singer of all time.
Great solid Rock songs that are easy to remember. After a while it gets a little boring and that's why i'll never play this album on repeat.
Great album not a bad track on it 'Rock Steady' all the way through Title track 'Bad Company' best No. for me followed by 'Can't Get Enough', will never tire of this album.
