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 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

a gritty, hard-rocking record with raw energy and typical Iggy swagger... very good
The cover is actually the only interesting thing about this album

Despite its lurid cover, this is a fun album! I particularly like the song "Candy", it's melodic and catchy. Happy Birthday to Iggy, April 21st, 2018. He turns 71 today. Keep rockin', you Stooge!

The album cover is quite ugly and does not make you want to listen to it... however it's one of the best Iggy album I think. Songs are dynamic, catchy, lyrics are really good. Just don't be fool by the cover !

Good rock and roll/hard rock/punk rock album. Best 10 songs average is 79,7/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Album has some lows, especially in the middle. Best songs are "Candy" and "Pussy power" both 85/100, followed by "Home" and "Livin' on the edge..." both 80/100.
It has its moments, couple of good tracks.
