Rating metrics:
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 72.4/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.8.

They probably did the blues better than any other glam rock hair band in the 80s. The follow up to this album was a straight up blues album but this one held on to the stadium glam of its predecessor Night Songs. This album encapsulates the band perfectly and is their best release. (Edited)
After the strong debut an even better follow up… The highlight of their career
Very unique! The most underrated band I know of!
