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 68.6/100, a mean average of 67.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Updated: listening through again, on vinyl, and this is a good album, better than the follow up, Strip, and contrary to my previous comments when I was listening through headphones on download…..bad move!
Adam's first solo record, although in truth it doesn't make hardly any difference considering Marco is still on board. Still, friend or foe, is an improvement on the disappointing, Prince charming. Goody two shoes, and the title track are classic Adam, and, desperate but not serious, something girls, and, a place in the country, are all enjoyable too. Not brilliant, but good fun.
Decent first solo offering from Adam Ant - however his best solo album was never released - if you get the chance go online and try to find 'Persuasion' - if it were released I'd buy it without hesitation.
Another guilty pleasure, I can't help but like Mr. Ant.
Music which there were many in the early eighties.
