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 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

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.

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 !

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!

a gritty, hard-rocking record with raw energy and typical Iggy swagger... very good
(Edited)
It has its moments, couple of good tracks.
