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 69.1/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

Formulaic pop rock, it's OK but not something I would look forward to listening to. Difficult to believe there are so many hits on this. Homebound Train is the best track.

I went in ready to hate this and roll my eyes and... yes while this is very silly at parts, it is definitely not boring. Its a dumb fun record and a perfectly fine pop rock album.

The hit songs on here may never reach the popularity of the hits from Slippery When Wet, but the hits on here deserve to be hits. Everything else is good at best and filler at worst.

Alright album, but basically Side 3 and Side 4 of Slippery When Wet. Big, glossy, anthemic late-80s glam metal.

More influenced by Springsteen than the previous one, it is a good album of hard rock, with many good songs on it. Overall i prefer slippery.

A little bit more serious and mature than, slippery, with the Bruce Springsteen influence shining even more brightly this time. Enjoyable songs, and in some cases better than the previous album, but it doesn't quite have the same freshness and sense of fun that it's predecessor had. Still, not bad.

The 'cowboy junk' onn side B is a preview of the terrible Young Guns soundtrack. Otherwise, it's a decent, if unremarkable retread of Slippery When Wet.
