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 is rated in the top 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Quite a good return from Mach 2. Sure it doesn't beat anything Ian did before this but it's very good.
Excellent comeback album with Ian Gillan back behind the mic, but in 1984 was it too late? Possibly...
Standout tracks are the title track and 'Knocking At Your Back Door'.

Better than expected comeback album. Two great tracks and the rest is basic but solid. Ian Gillian lost nothing on his voice.

Solid, hard-rocking album. "Knocking At Your Back Door" and "Perfect Strangers" are the only real standout tracks, but the rest is pretty solid.
“Knocking at Your Back Door” is so rousing! The title track stands out too. Really not a bad song on the album. This is the best work they’d done in years.
This is one of the better comeback albums.
