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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Thunderstruck and Moneytalks are big tracks which is well documented by other reviewers. I like a few tracks The Razors Edge & Are You Ready and the band sounds reinvigorated overall but no challenge to their earlier work just an improvement over their mediocre 80s albums after Back in Black. (Edited)
It has the best AC/DC track of all time in Thunderstruck but after that it's a pretty ordinary album. Way better AC/DC albums out there but OK for a casual listen (Edited)

Maybe the most commercial album of the band, but easy going to be listened; always funny to hear.
First 4 songs are shit hot so all's looking like it's going to be a classic album. But then it seemed like the ideas and song writing creativity had dried up. Still a reliable rhythm section, but the lyrics are dismal and the vocals aren't to great at all. (Edited)
A record that goes somewhat downhill after the first three tracks (which are superb). Not terrible by any means, but it can be very uninspired at times.
