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 62.9/100, a mean average of 61.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

Classico!
It's alright, but there's not much interesting here beyond the singles. Fallen Angel and Every Rose Has Its Thorn are great. Nothin' But A Good Time is OK, and Your Mama Don't Dance is a decent cover. The rest of it is thoroughly mediocre hair rock.

This was the first vinyl album I bought with my own money. Not much street cred with this pretty awful album but I thoroughly enjoyed it as a 14 year old and it has nostalgic importance only to me now which gives it a pass mark.
Ridiculous and very little depth, but perfectly serviceable glam metal/pop metal. Don't expect anything more. Poison's best album, and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", "Nuthin but a Good Time" and "Mama Don't Dance" are well-produced tracks.
There are some albums that may not be that great but for one reason or another find a place in a listeners heart. This is one of those albums for me. I was young, life was crappy and this provided a good escape to an 11 year old me. (Edited)
