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 65.9/100, a mean average of 64.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Has some moments, the title track is great, Baptism by fire and Rock the Blues away shine above the other songs which are good but just more of the same. Play Ball is also a "classic" AC/DC song.

As a true AC/DC fan I don't recognize this with the great music that was produced during the Bon Scott era and during the first period with Brian Johnson but I don't think this is a bad album. Songs like "Rock the Blues Away", "Rock the House" and "Playball" are solid rock pieces made with the new "AC/DC in the 00s and 10s" style. Also "Rock or Bust", "Sweet Candy", "Miss Adventure" and "Baptism by Fire" are good ones tough. Didn't like the rest of the songs as the other but the overall is a good 70/100 rating.

Rock or Bust and Rock The Blues Away are my favourites on this album. I'm not a big fan of this type of music but they can do some thumping tunes

Incredibly consistent quality makes for a damn good time, yet nothing stands out that much.

When will these guys stop pumping out songs with the same boring, simple formula they've been using for 40 years?
