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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. 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

'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.

A banda retoma seu lugar nas rádios com imensos clássicos e um pouco de hair rock.

Their last truly good album. I like Get a Grip, but Pump is really where Aerosmith last spurted some creativity. Album mixes pop rock, glam metal and heavy metal with Aerosmith's good old classic raunchy bluesy hard rock.

Very very good hard rock album, with some gems on it. Relentless until What it takes; one of the best Aerosmith album, and a hard rock classic.

Pump, is Aerosmith's best album. It's a vibrant, confident, and energetic classic. The whole band is on the top of their game here, especially Steven Tyler who is singing better than ever. From the opening duo of, young lust/F.I.N.E., the album never lets up, it's a one after the other, in your face rockfest, its breathless. There's no weak tracks here, from the excellent, love in an elevator, the moving, Janie's got a gun, the Beatles-esque, my girl, and the beautiful ballad, what it takes. Monkey on my back, and, the other side, are also worth a mention. A superb record, a rock'n'roll classic.

One more outstanding album from my favorite band. I love it and listened to it a thousand times. Great hard rock/blues rock album. Best 10 songs average is 93,5/100 and the album can get great 95/100. Among others it includes my personally number one song "Water song/Janie's got a gun". Also full scoring got "What it takes". Closely followed by "Going down/Love in an elevator" and "Dulcimer stomp/The other side" 95/100 and next "Monkey on my back" and "My girl" 90/100. Well, can I listen to it a thousand and one more time please?
