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 is rated in the top 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

Sounds just like the original to me but I liked that and only had it on CD. Excellent album which I happily now have on vinyl. (Edited)

This album is superb! Best stuff Whitesnake produced since their heyday. Doug Aldrich is a very underrated guitarist and in my opinion he makes this album what it is, coupled with the power of Chris Frazier on drums and subtle synth textures courtesy of Timothy Drury, a cracking album.
