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 67.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

This was the Gang's most hit-packed album. 4 of the 7 tracks were Top 20 hits in the US. Of course, it's very much a product of it's time. Everyone was trying to replicate the multi-platinum magic of Michael Jackson's Thriller. And while the Gang falls short of those lofty heights, this effort is good fun from start to finish.
A great record to throw on at your next 80's theme party, there's plenty here to pop, lock, moonwalk, and breakdance to, with the infectious "Fresh" a clear highlight. And they were even courteous enough to throw in a couple slow dance numbers so you can get up close with that fly tenderoni you been trading glances with all night. Then they end it all with a bouncy 7-minute shout-out to JC that even an atheist like me can't hate. (since it sounds like it could have been on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, I just pretend it's about Axel Foley)
Singles:
Misled / Rollin' - #10 Pop / #3 R&B
Fresh / In the Heart - #9 Pop / #1 R&B
Cherish - #2 Pop / #1 R&B
Emergency / You Are the One - #18 Pop / #7 R&B

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
