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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.4/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

The title track is most definitely the best on the album and probably my favorite Thin Lizzy song. Unfortunately, the rest of the album lacks consistency but does have some pretty good tracks ("Sha-la-la", "It's Only Money", "Showdown", "She Knows").
Best Track: She Knows
Another decent album from Thin Lizzy! Their 1974-1979 discography are just filled with one classic album after the next!
Fine album, just not a whole lot of really strong material here.
Best track: Still in love with you (with Gary Moore)
