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 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Very good album. Best 10 songs average is 90,0/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. It's good mood rock music. Best song is "(Everything I do)..." 100/100, followed by "Can't stop this thing..." 95/100 and next "Thought I'd died and gone to heaven" 90/100. All other songs good 80-85/100. Favourite!
Genre: Pop Rock, AOR, Rock

There was a time back in 1991 when a certain song broke all the records in the UK: It became the longest-ever consecutive stay #1, with an impressive record of 16 weeks.
Guess the song? yes, it was '(Everything I Do) I Do it For You'. At the time I was just a little kid. I was given the 'Waking Up The Neighbours' cassette and ever since I've spent some of the best days of my life with this album played on the background.
This album is intented to be enjoyed, not being over-analized on any way. And when you just put the CD and let the music flows, this album is phenomenal. In fact is my favourite Bryan Adams record ever.
It's really long (70+ min long!) but it has plenty of great tunes. 'Is Your Mama Gonna Miss Ya' has that Rolling Stones influence. The next 2 songs are pure rockers. 'Though I'd Died' is a slow song with a Def Leppard reminiscence (no wonder, the producer was Robert "Mutt" Lange, famous for working with Def Leppard, AC/DC and others).
My favourite other tracks are: 'House Arrest', 'Do I Have To Say The Words', 'Touch The Hand', 'Don't Drop That Bomb on Me' and of course that wonderful song with the longest staying at the top.
Cheers

Pales in comparison to Reckless. Bryan Adams was well on his way to wallowing in soft-rock shmaltz.
