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 63.0/100, a mean average of 62.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.7.

There's nothing bad here at all, but some tracks are maybe just a little generic. The (American) hits - "The Sign", "All That She Wants" and "Don't Turn Around" stand out as catchy pop songs. A point or two has to be deducted for the cheesy "rapping" inserted in a couple of these (which was trendy then and is still done sometimes today), but it's pretty short and not that distracting. Other than that, "Voulez-Vous Danser" (no relation to ABBA) is my next favorite song. Everything else is fine, but nothing Earth-shattering. A little under-rated overall.
Really a guilty pleasure

I would like to apologize on behalf of all Swedish people for inflicting this disease onto the world.

Very good pop/dance-pop album. Best 10 songs average is 91,3/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. I've always liked this album. Best song is "All that she wants" - full scoring. Followed by "Happy nation" 95/100 and next "Don't turn around", "The sign", "Living in danger" and "Wheel of fortune" all 90/100. All other songs good 80-85/100, except "Voulez-vous danser" average 75/100 only.
