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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Great consistent album for anyone who like simple rock'n'roll
My sister had this casette when it came out and I listened to it quite a bit. As an 11 year old it was pretty rocking to me. "My Kinda Lover" still does it for me.

The most unlikely platinum seller nobody has heard of
This album and the follow up sold by the truck load making Mr Squire a very rich man and a 2 hit wonder

feel-good rock without bombast. just straight guitar-chords, expressiv vocals, supporting bass and frame-giving drums.
all together it's not very rousing or uplifting, so "ok" may be the best description for it.
Unforgettably his best album that I play every now and then. Some good music from early 80's with some breakout rock songs, "Lonely Is The Night" is my favorite. (Edited)
