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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Having heard "The Power of Love" and relistening to "Two Tribes" I stopped hating FGTH on principle. I finally bought the single and played it non-stop for several days. Despite having over-played it, the album remains, to my ears, a great work. It fares better, when you are no longer hounded by the hype and the videos, wherever you look. It is not the greatest ever pop music to come out of Merseyside, OF COURSE, but it's damned good.

Kinda wish there were fewer covers, but when this thing is on, it's really on.

Best tracks: Welcome to the Pleasuredome, Relax, Two Tribes, Power of Love. These songs alone make this a classic mid 80's album.
starts strong. fizzles. quite a few covers. pop
Frankie's debut No.1 album which had advance sales of over one million, includes 3 consecutive No.1 hits "Relax", "Two Tribes" & the truly haunting love ballad "The Power of Love". Also included is the 13m40s version of their No.2 hit "Welcome To The Pleasuredome" and their better than original cover versions of "Born to Run" and "War(and Hide)". Check out Prince Charles short interlude on "Tag" and Ronald Reagans conclusion with "Bang" - Frankie says no more!
Favorite Tracks:Two Tribes, Born To Run, The Ballad Of 32, Black Night White Light, Bang

Three number one singles in the UK on this album, more a Trevor Horn album than Frankie Goes to Hollywood with session musicians on many of the tracks, but a great album never-the-less.
An excellent album through and through. The influence of Trevor Horn is very evident on many tracks. Getting a single banned by Radio 1 at the time was a clever tactic and spearheaded the band into strardom. As much I like the classic hits, I equally love the slower less known tracks like 'Including the Ballad of 32' and 'The Only Star In Heaven'.

A little over the top at times, but definitely more interesting and with more of other people's material than I would have anticipated.
My favorite songs : Relax....The power of love.....Fury....Born to run....san jose.....Black night white light....War ....Welcome to the pleasuredome
