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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Bouncy, energy-filled new wave record and a welcome addition to Joe Jackson's catalog. It's a bit up and down with a handful of tracks I would be fine without, but that's counteracted with some of his very best stuff—On Your Radio, It's Different for Girls, the title track, and Don't Wanna Be Like That in particular, with Kinda Kute and Friday also being great. Jackson remains a really underrated artist with a discography worth exploring. (Edited)
His 6th best album according to BEA members...really? Personally I've always thought this was his best album. It's Different For Girls is a timeless classic whilst Get That Girl is so infectious.
Joe Jackson gets no respect. This record is great.

This record isn't awful but consistently manages to make me wish I were listening to "Look Sharp!"
Really fun album, no bad tracks. It's Different For Girls is a great song. (Edited)
