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 75.8/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

Good hard rock album with plenty of catchy tunes and no bad tracks really. My favourites are Rock you like a hurricane and I'm Leaving You. (Edited)

One of the best Scorpions album
Satisfying hard rock album with great hooks and sweet riffs. Though it is more an album to listen on the back ground that to listen while paying full attention. Still Loving You remains one of the rock ballad classics.

Scorpions have two seasons. Before 1980 and after! After Uli Jon Roth season this album is an absolute diamond !!! I can't pick out some wicked track!
