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 73.3/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Loved this album in the 80s and still a "guilty pleasure." He plays every instrument...kind of amazing. Solid album.
vanilla pop songs

When my kids ask me what did the 80's sound like ? I'll play them this album
It's a complete compliment highlighted by the timeless "While You See A Chance"
Excellent record underrated.
A good album with good songs, although the use of keyboards when a nice honking sax would do is a little disappointing. Still, a solid album from Winwood.
His best solo record.
Of course, "While you see a chance" is the classic track here, and it definitely stands the test of time. That might not be necessarily true for the rest of the record. The synth on some of the tracks kind of sound a bit dated.

i just love the fact Winwood produced the thing and played every instrument on this set of pop songs...i never heard of that before...I revist this every so often and when i do i'm reminded of the beauty in it..." Dust" and "Slowdown Sundown" always tear me down...and the optimism of "While you see a chance" shines...
