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 has a Bayesian average rating of 66.4/100, a mean average of 65.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

This is a great album except for it's biggest hit -- People still seem to love "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You" but I can't stand it. I do, however, love the rest of the album. "The Night", "Wild Child", "Call of the Wild", and "Tall Dark Handsome Stranger" are all great rockers. "I Love You" is one of the most beautiful ballads Ann has ever sang -- a straight up non-power ballad. The only power in it is Ann's voice and emotions.

This album continued Heart's trend into commercially successful but artistically bankrupt arena rock.

Loved this album to bits when it first came out. A fair enough album today, but I am partial to the earlier records

My sister loved this album. Played the heck out of it for a couple of years. As a result, I hate it, especially "All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You." Pure dreck.
