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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

A great eighties synth pop album with a really 'summery' feel to it. In my opinion, this is the best of the top three with 'How Men Are' in second and 'Penthouse and Pavement' in third place. 'Temptation' and 'Come Live With Me' are standouts. 'Best Kept Secret' with its subtle synth washes and up front vocals also ticks the box for me.
The first album on cassette i ever had, maybe even my first album in any format. Got it along with a Sony Walkman and sound wise i just remember it sounded incredible. Doesn't sound the same through spotify and through 40 odd year old ears with tinnitus. Though the album is actually ok, better than I thought it would be. Nostalgia eh. I doubt I've heard this since 85
