Rating metrics: Help 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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Considering how commercially pushed this was and how annoying Steven Tyler comes across, this is not a bad album at all. Bit heavier than I was expecting which was a bonus. Better than I was anticipating (Edited)

'Cause it looks like the one truck is "pumping" the other one! Hur, hur, hur. That's the level of maturity you're dealing with here. So don't be surprised when the songs never rise above anthems to grade school humor. (Edited)

I think nostalgia stops me giving it a lower score and Other Side is a genuinely great song but damn the production is so slick and the hair rock songwriting is of its time in a not great way.
