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 67.5/100, a mean average of 66.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.2.

An incredibly wonderful album!
Positivity, romanticism, sexuality, love, virtuosity, coolness in everything. I suspect it was a particularly happy time for all the members of a new hard rock band called WHITESNAKE. Coverdale did a great job.
The highest score!

Very Deep Purpleish, not a bad thing, since the singing and playing is top notch A few hits makes this a decent thing

As a Record Collector I always said "the album cover is as important as the music within the grooves".
And they certainly got that right with this artwork! In my Top 10 Albums covers!

This is a really bluesy sounding album where John Lord's Hammond shines through on most tracks. Superb guitar soloing on 'Walking in the Shadow of the Blues'. Quite a thought provoking sleeve...

The 'snake's best album. Walking in the Shadow of the Blues is the standout cut.
