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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Keeping up with the inconsistency of the Eric Bell era, this album seems to have a lot of great ideas, yet not all of them were fleshed out. However, it's a major step up from the likes of their debut, and the tracks "The Rocker", the title track, and, particularly, "Mama Nature Said", are fantastic.

I really love this album. It shows that Thin Lizzy was a really good blues band before they started writing pop songs. "The Hero and the Madman is a really exciting song".

A couple good hits but the rest is filler. Make sure to get the expanded re-release that includes Whiskey in the Jar.
