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 72.3/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.1.

The hits off this album are good, and Express Yourself is the best track. However the rest is not so great, and even boring. Tracks 3 & 11 especially, I would not miss, and it would raise the average.

Admittedly, I'm not as into this as her first three albums, but it's still an interesting evolution.

Express Yourself is criminally underrated, and its strong rhythm and confident melody are what I find more appealing than those of Like a Prayer.

I can't get past wondering how much stronger this might have been if Madonna had been able to commit to the Prince influence throughout.
There is not much here besides the first track., which of course is her biggest song by far. Overall, 55/100.
Amazing album that redefined pop at the time!
this is her best album from beginning to end you can hear her maturity throughout the album and the Prince song which has been noted in the other comments is fantastic and Madonna co writing the whole album you can tell she had control over the whole thing

The first track is a classic, the second a good song, the rest is not up to much.

Auge da Madonna do anos 80's que brinca tanto com a igreja quanto com os bons costumes. Todas as gerações de jovens vindouros usufrutuaram da luta da Madonna, principalmente as mulheres.
Great fun progressive album. + has Prince in it! (How could they go wrong?)
