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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Rocking tunes, dark topics, a breath of freshness for rock.

Well, maybe it was 1977 that hair metal arose. I always attributed the poofy hair, slick look and guitar wankery to 78's van halen debut, but there are many hair metal facets to early cheap trick. On their debut, "elo kiddies" is the main attraction, but it's all rockin' good time.

This album needs to be in the top 500 for sure, for me top 200. For the power album that it is...top 100 for sure.

Exceptionally melodic and subversive songs that are downright catchy with insanely dark lyrics. Every songs is a keeper.

Cheap Trick had hunger, power and songs...their first 3 albums are hard to beat. "He's A Whore", "Hot Love", "Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School"...a very good debut album.

After a great start this album quickly becomes disappointing. I much prefered All Shock Up to this one. Best Song ELO Kiddies.
