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 70.6/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

My all time favorite hair metal album from my all time favorite hair metal band.

Yes, I consider this album to even be better other landmark albums from the genre like Appetite For Destruction or Hysteria or Slippery When Wet…even though I love those albums too. (Edited)

Had this tape but was never a favourite and this style was on the wane by then. GNR had made the ultimate record associated with this type of thing a couple of years earlier. The only way to go was more production, dumber (see lyrics) and just try and sound like you are having the best dumb rock n roll time ever. I guess the singles do bring that vibe and are enjoyable with good riffs. Ok for what it is.
