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 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

Not my favourite Crüe album as a teenager in the 80s but now I see it as clearly their best release.

An incredible Early-80’s hard rock/glam metal album that didn’t quite explode like Dr. Feelgood did.

This is the album that introduced me to hard rock/metal when I was a kid. It will always hold a place in my heart

Gotta say, this is a really solid album. Probably Motley Crue's best and their most perfect blend of heavy metal and glam metal. Motley Crue will always remain a dumb band, but they've got some good hard rocking tunes.

I have played looks that kill more times that I can admit.

There a number of solid hair metal tracks on this album

This is a classic for me. Shout At the Devil and Looks that Kill are some of their best songs. Great Cover of Helter Skelter.

Most of the songs sound the same to me. Plus, the choruses mostly consist of the title repeated three or four times. Many songs use the same tempo.
