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 is rated in the top 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

This album rocks, and managed to still be a success despite being released in the middle of the grunge explosion. Far heavier and more interesting than the usual hair metal stuff, that’s probably what helped Skid Row from being destroyed by the grunge scene (it still happened, but they survived longer than the others) Sebastian Bach gives his best vocal performances here, and probably the best vocal performances in the hair metal genre EVER. The guitar solos are on point all around, even if some of the riffs leave much to be desired. Unfortunately, with the exception of livin in a chain gang, the singles are the strongest songs.

This was the album where Skid Row said "Hair metal? Screw that. HEAVY METAL"

Probably the heaviest album released during the hair metal era from a "hair metal"-labeled band.
