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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Status Quo tend to be on the receiving end of jokes about playing the same chords for each song. Despite their "consistent" sound, they manage to pull off a number of great tunes. Rain and Mystery Song are wonderful as too are Is There A Better Way, That's A Fact and Ring Of Change. This was the band at their peak (some would argue On The Level was their peak). It deserves a listen.
The last of the classic Quo albums. Rick Parfitt contributes with the album's best songs in "Rain" and "Mystery Song". However, there are no weak songs on this album.

Three chords and the truth. If you can't trust Statusm who can you. I dig this album because I'm a bit fed up with punk and new wave trickery at this point in time
With so many great songs to their name I thought the Quo must have made at least one really good album... Well, I just discovered this one and it's great.
