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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

From the very beginning, this remarkable band was distinguished by its inventive music, featuring a variety of magnificent vocal harmonies (performed by four vocalists), stylish melodies, and a delightful sense of humor and eccentricity (in the spirit of Zappa and Captain Beefheart).
Of course, there are no complex structures or progressive ideas that would appear on their later albums. The debut album of 10 CC is inspired more by doo-wop, rhythm and blues of the 50s and beat music of the 60s. But here, the guys are already shining with their wit - puns, sarcasm and ambiguities are evident in almost all the texts.
The album's closing track, Fresh Air For My Mama, was actually a reworking of the song You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think Of It by the band Hotlegs. The musicality throughout the album is excellent. In my opinion, this is a successful and promising debut by a great band...
Bought original UK press (on UK records) at Cheapo records Soho, as new. In the late-80s and early-90s, they seemed to have dead stock of basic catalogue that was new, unsold. They never had anything amazing though. The best songs are Godley & Creme, though everyone in this band was a good writer. Obviously. I love "Hospital Song", and all their first four albums.
I wore the vinyl out on this record when it came out. Slick 70's pop with great hooks and production. Definitely worth a listen.
This album was different form what had come before. It really excited me. It opens with one of the best rock songs RUBBER BULLETS. How can you not love a song with lyrics " We all got balls and brains, My son's got balls and chains". Clever wordplay, mixing of musical genres like DooWop(Donna), shifting modes within a song. Sorry I'm not a music critic, but there's a whole lot to love about this album. You will not be disappointed.
