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 63.9/100, a mean average of 63.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.6.

“I was 12 when this came out. It was naughty, and I liked it. I was 14 in 1986, and these were the two heavy albums me and my friends were into (not that heavy, really). At the same time, there were things happening like Poison, which made me cringe. By 1987, I really didn't like anything in that…”

Great debut with plenty of big hits on it. This is fun and catchy rock and roll that doesn't require a lot of thought to be able to enjoy. CC Deville's guitar playing sets the tone. Talk Dirty To Me sounds like it could be a New York Dolls song.

Awesome glam, hair metal, especially the first 6 songs in what might've been the best year for metal. (?)

Poison was still figuring out their schtick at this point. Mediocre.
