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 64.5/100, a mean average of 63.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

Had this on cassette, used to listen to it on a blaster in my little apartment, and I thought then what I still think coming back to it now. To me, this is a really smart, fun, sophisticated album that is perfectly of its time, but also has a lot of soul to it. Got to knock some points off, though, because the production is also of its time: thin and brittle with a shallow bottom end.

The story and personality is actually much more interesting than the music.
Excellent production and catchy songs makes this a memorable debut, topped only by Colour By Numbers.
